Starting This New Project

Today I’m starting my year-long project to make one new larger painting each week.

I have several items still in my studio from the large commission painting I finished a few days ago, and I like the way they look together, so I’m using them for the basis of this week’s painting.

I’ve done a basic thumbnail sketch for the cropping and composition, and now it’s time to transfer that to the panel.

8×10 is the smallest dimension I’ll be using for these pieces –
it’s actually smaller than I’d like to be working, but this is the panel I have at the moment. I’ll be making larger panels this week.

Stay tuned tomorrow for updates.
