Recent Paintings in Progress

I’ve been working on the large painting above over the past few weeks. Like the one in my Messy Middles post, it is painted over a photo canvas that was delivered pixelated. I have a few “real” oversized canvases to use next, but since I am relatively new to painting big, I wanted to practice on some less valuable real estate before getting going on the real thing.

The second painting is a small (8.5X11) work of acrylic on paper. It might eventually be a scene that makes it onto a big piece. We’ll see.
