I worked the past several days on finishing the under-painting of The Woman in Purple Boots<\/em>. The Woman in Purple Boots<\/em> is 40″ x 50″ which is a nice size and format. I’m thinking of preparing a batch of canvases that size, say 4-5. I often prepare batches of the same size. Last year, I prepared 7-8 canvases that are all 44″ x 60″. I also intend to prepare a batch of 36″ x 48″ canvases this spring.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The unfinished ‘Woman in Purple Boots’ on the easel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The figures are taken from three photographs that I combined into the design. The photographs are from a trip to New York last summer. I have several photographs taken around the same time and I plan another painting with several of the same figures but in different positions and attitudes.<\/p>\n

The canvas for The Woman in Purple Boots<\/em> had another drawing on it–an incomplete drawing that I abandoned. It’s unusual for me to abandon a large painting. I usually get the design worked out before I start on the canvas. But when I do abandon a large painting, it’s in the drawing stage. I’ve only abandoned a large work once after actually starting to paint, and that was because of a poorly prepared canvas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this case, I knew the drawing had some issues but I thought they were minor and could be worked out as I went along. It turned out the issues weren’t minor and to fix them meant reworking a large part of the drawing. I eventually determined that the design wasn’t strong enough, so I abandoned it. I’m much happier with the new design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
