This was my first solo painting show. At the time I was very interested in trying to paint large canvases in a manner much like my smaller watercolors on paper. By using thinned acrylic paint on a very absorbent lightly gessoed canvas, I was able to emulate the washes, luminosity and broad gesture of the smaller works.
