Dear Subscribers,

 

Greetings!

As teased with sketches in last week's newsletter
 , I've been working
on a large 3' square painting. It is done.

 

First stage. I wasn't sure if any tone from the board would be left by
the end of the painting, but I wanted it as an option. And I don't like
starting on white:

My painting space is dark, which is why the above progress photos are
grey where they should be white. I just now forgot to adjust those in
photoshop this time, oh well.

 

And the finished painting, "Overlord"
  (36x36):

This was knife painted. By the end I was troweling on big gobs of
white. Fun.

I'd imagined this looking a bit creepy, and I think it happened. Turned
out very close to my original thoughts about the composition.

 

It's funny--at the beginning this size looked
huge...massive...intimidating. Now I look and it doesn't seem all that
big anymore. More big painting are in my immediate future.

 

Until next week,
