Having fun playing with paint on a big wooden canvas. {Ed: I ordered Wood Painting Panels from dickblick.com} I'm finally at a place where I feel like there is hope for it, ha! It's sure to change from here, but I feel like it's found a direction. It's 24x24 and I'm really enjoying working in this large size. Gonna set this aside for a bit and gesso another one now. Not sure what I enjoy more, the feel of the paintbrush on the wood, or mixing up my own colors (acrylics and watercolors). Feeling very lucky that I get to play this way. Constantly trying to grow creatively. Hope you get some creative play in today too.


love your color pallet and the direction Pam!

Hi Kas, I ordered Wood Painting Panels from dickblick.com. They are made of birch plywood.

I know how your heart is soaring right now. When you suddenly turn down a new artistic path, it is like falling in love. You become breathless and daydream of your new love when you are away and sometimes sleep won't come until you have snuck back into the studio and worked just a "wee bit more". For me, that usually means dawn!
The boards are wonderful, and how fun for you to have larger space on which to work!
I hope a new love comes my way soon.
