Space to Breathe (a 3x3" cropped image), original 22x30" Acrylic on Paper
Ahhhh....a day of rest. Today I have been reflecting on my Painting-A-Day challenge and how to create balance. I have recently received a commission to paint seven paintings for each of the seven cantatas of "Buxtehude - Membra Jesu Nostri" in collaboration with Dr. Brian Schmidt's Chapel Choir at Duke University. We have talked for a few years now of working together, the marriage of choral music and visual art. It's finally happening on April 21st in Durham, NC. On the days that I need to work on the Buxtehude paintings, I may not have a 12x12" finished. On those days I will share what I have been up to on my commissioned painting, sharing the process with a visual sample. You will get a glimpse into how a painting is built.
