The cooling weather and end of year goals have me working at new series on 25# hemp canvas. It’s the first time I’ve used this vintage style archival material, and it does take some getting used to in terms of the stretching procedure. The texture reminds me of a cross between burlap and linen, which I keep as the ground color for each fresh start by priming a newly stretched surface with clear matte varnish.

This round of new works is minus any flap style appendages, and seems to be calling me towards a continuation of the abstract landscape through process and discovery.
