 FROM SKETCHES TO CANVAS

     After selecting the images from the sketches in the slide show below, I begin diving into the project of a painting. This will be a 4' x 4' composition. 
     When preparing a background , my preference is to create a setting that is not narrative and rather abstract. I want it to have an energy and direction that can hold up to that of the moving figure.
     This process is ongoing even as the figure(s) are worked onto the canvas.
