Dancing in the Moonlight

This is just the barest glimpse of my latest piece; a 9 x 12 canvas painting. I'd just barely started, when I realized that this particular type of canvas needed to be prepped with gesso! So I had to re-do, which I didn't want to do, but oh well. I was wondering why my brushes were sort of dragging along.

I know it doesn't look like anything now and it might be hard to visualize, but that's how most start out and then all that paint just brings 'em to life! My plan is to make this sort of a patchwork of various holiday scenes, and I think will turn out very fun and festive. Hopefully. So see you all back when it's done!

However it changes you will still have the "first" photo to show what it looked like as a child. Sometimes when I start a piece I get crafters block and have to set it aside until a clearer vision of what that piece wants to become shows up in my mind. Does that make me a craft whisperer or just plain ole' bonkers.
