Art works…

The work is finally starting and the stretchers have been ordered in Kilkenny. I am still trying to decide on the type of canvas I want to use. I have been experimenting with a heavy cotton canvas with a tight weave, though today I found a large piece of a looser weave linen/cotton fabric on which I did a few test paintings. It’s good to work on, on top of board, I have yet to try it stretched. It’s difficult buying canvas off the net without seeing the quality and structure of it. I shall have to try as I am not going to Dublin for a while and I need to start the work.
