Once I Get Done ...

...with all this busybody stuff, I am beginning what I call a 'major painting.' That means one that will require more time and energy than the smaller ones, and one that will definitely have a higher price tag.

I work up the concepts in Photoshop first, so here is the concept. The scene is from a photo, and the canvas is about 4 feet wide.



The outer edge will be primed canvas, with no painting on it other than the gesso. Since this canvas is a two-inch thick no-frame stretcher, the effect will be that the unpainted edge surface "frames' the image. I have done others like this in the past that had unprimed canvas in areas. It is a stunning effect.

I love this too, look forward to see the finished picture. One thing I miss about not living in London and that is visiting the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. I used to enjoy going there, so much.
I was watching a programme last night about Victorian artists. The ones who painted the pictures of the life as it was then - both the 'street life' with all the poverty and then by comparison the more affluent society. The pictures told a story.
