On the big easel...

The urge hit last night to put paint to canvas. 
 I am loving this large scale,
 traditional acrylic painting process this morning! 
 Big, long handle brushes.  
Using the big easel.  
Standing on a step stool.  
Mixing paint right on the canvas.  
Stepping back to look.  




I paint dark to light.  I start with the absolute darkest colors I have and layer lighter and lighter for up to 4 or 5 colors.    I think I have been painting for about 12 hours today.  Loved every minute!  I did have to share my work table.......
This is Burlap.  he jumps up onto the little sofa, then onto the back of it and up onto my table every time I start working.  I decided to just put a little bed up there for him.  He was totally content to be there all day!
