At times, when there is a deadline or a last minute inspiration, I use my Manhattan apartment to create paintings. It is really wild, because it is everything but an environment to paint large canvasses! And of course, Sophie is always present and cares not for anything but her ball. She sometimes runs across the canvasses when they lay flat and I have kept her little paw marks in many a painting. These images show two canvasses which I worked on simultaneously. The 'during' phases and the finished products. When inspiration or deadlines call, drop-cloths and risk is all that is needed.
Under Layers. The process...
The completed piece. Many many layers, from dark to light.
Sophie needing attention with her ball while I keep an eye that she doesn't step paint onto the area rugs or floors....not an easy task!
The completed piece. Working from black to charcoal to lighter and lighter layers.
