Hiding from The Heat

This painting was finished in June. Along the way I changed it about 4 times in major ways so it took a while to finish.  "Hiding from the Heat", 24" x 36",
oil on canvas.

 Although a lot of the first large pictures I did were on gessobord, it is getting a lot more difficult to find places that sell the size I like, 24" x 36", and shipping is a problem. The last set I got had bunged corners. Local stores don't carry the size.  And they are heavy, even if they don't need a frame. And you have to buy a whole lot of them at once. So this painting is on canvas. It has certain disadvantages - can't scrape off the paint as vigorously if I don't like what I  did,  for instance.  Can't do some of the other techniques I did either, like masking and cutting.  But I guess I will have to adapt.
