Became this.........
As I've previously mentioned, I have been sorting through some old paintings and found them less than stellar,to say the least. So, I'm painting over them.
I think that most artists who do this first give the old painting a good coat of Gesso before they start a new effort. I don't. Because............
a. I'm lazy.
b. I'm out of Gesso
and.....more importantly
c. I really like what often happens when the old painting shines through in some places.
Like so.........
Using the colors I already had out on my palette, I just started slapping paint around with my biggest brush.
Slap. Slap. Slap.
But, see that one bright spot in what is turning into a sky?
See those mountains that seem to be forming on the right?
See that tree which seems to want to live in the left foreground?
I thought you did.
I did, too.
And after a little more paint slapping....it turned into this.
RIVER OF GOLD
24 X 36
I'm not sure I'll even buy any more Gesso.
I am grateful for these happy surprises!
This painting is available for purchase through my website.
