I can feel it in my bones that it is now time to get back to painting! However, I really prefer working large scale, like 3' x 5' and larger, but I am running low on paint supplies, I'm trying to be thrifty and I just don't have the time to invest in working on just a few large paintings.
The only real solution is to work smaller. I can use what paint I have, get them done in a timely fashion, get more paintings done, and maybe sell and ship some at affordable rates. They idea here is to kick start my painting mojo into gear.
So I cut up a panel of 3 mm Baltic birch into 8" x 10" panels. There are 36 of them, should be good for awhile.Having them sit here at the ready is one step close to being able to work on them. Now I just need to fill up my paint stores and gesso the panels. I'm thinking of adding a wood rim to the backs of these panels, too, to make them easier fr future mounting. Easy to do it now rather than later.
