A wonderful visual story of the build up of your wonderful artwork.

It is interesting how many artists love to prime their canvas in the orange tones. When I was young and first out of university I worked with a local artist who, at the time, was a pretty well recieved local impressionist/cezannist painting of beautiful Cape Cod/East Coast scenery in large oil paintings. He always primed his canvas with an almost flourescent orange saying out it make the colours hang on that shade which he would leave here and there to come forward to the viewer.

That was a fun job, besides doing fun art world things and going to shows as a job, I got to go on many adventures with this artist and he loved to paint anything he could get his hands on. He made these funny and joyful coloured statues out of giant driftwood we would collect on the beach. He lived in a beautiful house on the sea but his wife would not let him bring in these funny stick sculptures (They were huge!) So they littered his studio and he'd always try to push them off on people when they'd come for a private viewing to the studio.

I'm not really sure why I am sharing this story with you, only that seeing your primed canvas brought back a flood of fun and funny times in my early youth. :) That's a good sign, I think. Your work, even it's its beginning stage, makes me smile and remember fond days.
