2/100 - The {100} Artists
auction - bid here

This is my 2nd of 100 paintings in the "buildings" theme for "The {100} Artists.  Working very small, I was careful today to paint on the gessoed side of the canvas.  I did not do that yesterday - and that canvas soaked up my paint like a sponge, making every stroke much harder than it should be!  It is very challenging using my large knife on such a tiny substrate, I must see if I can get smaller knives for this work.  I will let this one rest for today, and look with fresh eyes in the morning - I think it is calling for some cooler tones in the upper left corner.....painting number 817 in 817 days.
