SALEM -

Another productive but slow moving day on this painting. This is one of my bigger painting 60" X 36" and one of the more ambitious ones I have done at this size. Sometimes it can feel like an up hill battle and very daunting at times. I am around two months already into the painting. Getting closer to finishing and will hopefully be done by the end of the month. Spent most of the day painting out a house. Just one small element in this very busy painting. I am excited to be painting on canvas again. It has been allowing me to approach the work much more looser, which was what I was hoping for. My O.C.D makes it hard to brake out of old habits. The house reference is from an old farmhouse close to where my parents live in Canada. I have been loving incorporating these elements into my more recent works. It gives me a sense of nostalgia for a place I love so much.
