This is the first painting of the rest of my life--
Stay tuned for future updates...this will be interesting!

As of early September, 2013:
The decision has been made to paint the background of this painting red with a transparent glaze of Alizarin Crimson. Going over these gray-greens will darken the ground considerably and make the figure stand out.
SUCCESS!
And the finished product is not very heavy--the grommets embedded along the top edge should be able to hold the suspended work...the next experiment. I'll let it dry for a few more days with this side up and then see about hoisting it up!

Next, a spin off project: Create a painting using this painting as subject matter. I'm going to use a couple of the hay canvases...See the post entitled, "A Painting of a Painting."

Today I attempted to flip the dried hay mat painting--OMG!
SUCCESS!

I couldn't be more pleased with the success of this project. More are on the way!
I couldn't stop watching your videos on this project, James!
