Completed Painting
8 1/2 x 11 on Canson Paper
Untitled as yet, ( suggestions for a title would be welcomed).
What started out on Canson 19 x 25 paper ended up as a small painting because the paper buckled when I applied an alcohol wash to the underpainting.. When I finished I noticed that the bucked paper wasn't so noticeable in the area I cut it down to. and I was, therefore able to salvage it. I plan on using the scene to the right of the cut out as part of another painting. I will show you how that turns out in a future post.
Great save, Anita! How 'bout "The Road Not Taken" as a title since the painting went down another path than originally intended! Just a thought. Don't you love it when you CAN save a part of a painting and have it work?
ReplyDeleteGreat metaphor Kathleen. Since I put many hours of painting into this work, I hated to destroy it. I was plesed with how it turned out. I created another version of the larger format without an underpainting. It is in progess now and I will put it in a future post.
