Sometimes art is very serendipitous and happy little accidents happen. The first step to starting a painting is applying gesso to the board. Gesso is a white paint, that primes the surface and prepares it for the paint to come. Today, after I poured the gesso, this is what I saw. Maybe it's an omen for good things to come. Have a happy day and enjoy the weekend.

    ​“I am drawn to the things which speak to the senses; the light and atmosphere of landscapes, the impressions of a moment or place, and the spirit of nature and of people. It is important to me to strive as an artist to paint a variety of subjects and to paint each equally well. I  paint often on location, or from life.  Whether researching sporting life images, landscapes, or places from abroad, painting directly from the subject is essential to capturing the impression of what I see.” -DIX BAINES
