First Painting


10"x12" oil on canvas paper

This is the first of the 17 paintings I've completed so far. Each was done inside of one day and took between 2 & 4 hours. The values aren't right, but in some ways this is my favorite. I love the looseness. I guess after this, I started trying too hard. I'll upgrade to better materials when I'm more confident. If I use a more expensive ground now, I'll surely tighten up. That's absolutely not what I want to do.

Love these eaqrly works, expecially the one of the doll. I think it is provocative.
