I did a little prep work this last weekend for a new small 12 x 12 painting. Inspired by Veronica Funk, I decided to gesso over an old painting and paint the canvas red-orange as a base. I'm going to start on a small water tower painting on this canvas. I'm still debating which picture to do. I'm leaning towards the Marfa tower because I think I'll like the blue sky on the red-orange background. These are some photos that I took and then photoshopped them to get a different look. I may change the colors some.......I guess I'll just see how it goes. Any suggestions are welcome.
