Pulling compositions together with limited resources ...
“A lot of time I will use whatever size canvas I have in stock, make do. This time I have been trying to think what would really be best for the image and what I want to say about it. Had to bite the bullet. Ordered a number of canvasses from Curry's yesterday.
As I was sketching, trying out different compositions, I got worried that there was a 'sameness' to all my paintings for this show. Forced myself to go back over them, looking for ways to say more about the subjects. Yet again I am limited by my reference material. Searched through archived photos to find missing links. Decided not to include 'Fox Harbour Beach' in the show. I like how it looks and what I was trying to do but don't feel it fits into the theme well enough.
