painting for friday #22


Coast Watcher

Well maybe not really 22.   I am pulling out my old work (for the show) and bringing it up so it looks like the same person painted it.  Putting in more detail.  Making the older paintings more realistic.  I reuse my stretcher bars, so I am restretching everything.  Because I have that option I am cropping a lot of the older paintings.  They feel so static - super centered on the canvas. I still don't know when the show is going to happen, but I said that I could be ready after this weekend…ahhhhh!  It wasn't quite dry when I took the photo - her necklace is a little shiny still, so impatient.  The Boy came by after he was done with work and we had a little impromptu dinner date.  I love spring, late night walks downtown holding hands…

Here is what I said about it and this is a small image of what it used to look like:
