Activation

I'm so enjoying starting a new painting—activating a 30x30" canvas that's been an 'erasable whiteboard' for me ever since granddaughters Caroline and Emmy took me to Art Supplies Wholesale in July with an allowance to spend as I wished. I've painted this-that-and-the-other on its surface off and on for five months, just letting my paintbrush take me wherever it takes me. I think I've covered it completely with gesso 2 or 3 times now, starting again each time with a fresh white surface that has hints of past lives making themselves known.

Here, my most recent (re)activation.
