Blank Canvas

It’s a blank canvas sort of day here. I added another coat of gesso to the canvas on the table in the quiet early this morning.

I have another table of small canvases ready for the first layers of paint. Getting excited…excited to see what is going to emerge next. It’s like a whole table full of possibility and I really have no idea what is going to burst forth. I’ve got plans, ideas, thoughts, sketches, hunches, but until the paint starts to hit the canvas it all is a bit of mystery waiting to unfold. Feeling like a metaphor of life right now…waiting for a new school year to unfold, preparing for new work in the studio, prepping for upcoming shows, planning for the fall…can’t wait to see what will develop.
