Brown Paper Packages…

tied up in bows.

These are a few of my favourite things.

My canvas has arrived! 🙂

 

Now to build the frame and prime it,

then off to painting.

It’s all very exciting.

It’s been years since I’ve made my own canvas. I’ll be sure to let you know how that goes.

On another note, I’ve been asked to speak at the local Art Club tomorrow night.

They asked if I minded  telling some youth the whys and how comes I became an artist.

So it should prove interesting.

Cheers for tonight.

Genesis Re-visited

Alright, so the company that I was planning on getting my canvas from for the Genesis inspired painting sadly does not ship large canvases.  😦

This is upsetting because all the local stores are twice or more the freaking price.

Bah!

So, this leaves me with two options

1-suck it up and accept the price gouging

or

2-build and stretch my own canvas

Either way, it’s going to take longer than I had anticipated.

I’ll let you know what I decide; in the meantime, here’s a peek at the concept drawing for the piece.

You’ll have to wait until I start painting to see it in color.

Cheers,

Amanda
