an update

I've been traveling and unable to find the time to post to the blog. To those of you who've checked in from time to time during my absence, I apologize. I've ordered stretcher bars and canvas, and they're due to arrive this week. This is going to be the first time I've used canvas for a support, so I've got some experimentation ahead of me. In the next posts I'll try to catch up to where I am, real time, in the process, and explain how I got to my final drawing for the commission. I'll be out of town next week as well without internet access, so please be patient with me.
