Blank Canvas

Teaching has been extremely hectic the last couple of weeks. As a consequence I haven't had much time or energy to paint. In an attempt to inspire myself I have purchased an extremely large canvas. It is completely backwards to the way I normally work. Normally I would get an idea and then stretch the canvas to fit the idea. This time I'm working towards an idea.

It hasn't taken me long, but I think I know what to paint... I'm thinking of painting a narrative. Maybe a biblical story or possibly a fairytale.

Blank Canvas

I just received a huge 48"x60" canvas. It is a nice canvas and I am really excited about painting it, but I don't have any idea where to start. Should I paint abstract? A landscape? Florals? Figures? I'm stumped. The next few days will be filled with ideas... Time to get drawing.
