Today I need to create two posts because I started two new paintings. This is Still Life 8. This is my new and inexpensive canvas and it looks great and feels great when applying paint.

Worked on Landscape 3. I need to start having two painting sessions per day, one in the morning and one after dinner for two or three hours. Tomorrow I’ll begin painting fifteen new paintings. Thirteen of them are drawn and ready for the first basic painting steps.

This morning I finished and signed Landscape 4. I like this quite a bit. I don’t name paintings. If I did UFO Clouds would be a good name.
It seems that when I glue a piece of canvas to a Blick MDF panel mounted on a cradle it causes the mounted panel to warp. So for larger paintings, over 12 x 9, I’m going back to the old reliable canvas mounted to stretcher strips. Today there is a large selection of stretcher strips. There are standard, medium-duty, and heavy-duty, and there are different brands. There are also aluminum stretcher strips.
