Changing
out the Firescreen
New painting of Beach Cove |
I am
tired of my original painting that I made for my fire screen. It was
okay but a change is as good as a rest I think. O I set to and
Painted a scene form my latest vacation at Monterey.It is pretty
large -2.5ft by approx 2feet all on a very bumpy piece of wood . I
did prepare the surface by slapping on a couple of coats of gesso
and then went at it with thick acrylic paint.

It was
a challenge as the original photo was very gray looking and I wanted
something brighter. Not sure I really like how it came out.
I
might have to find another piece of wood I think
Lovely way to get more from a photo and enjoy it through the year
