One of the interesting aspects of working on a neutral ground is that, if you choose, you can begin with the highlights. I find this to be a very refreshing way to work. We are so used to putting dark marks on light surfaces that to do the opposite kind of forces me to stay engaged in a way I might not when beginning a painting like this.
This one is large (see comment from my mathematically inclined son on my earlier post) at 36 x 48 inches. And while Chris can tell you why that not only seems much larger than 30 by 40, but in fact IS much larger (by about 44%), for me, it's the practical consideration that in my crowded little studio I can just fit this baby on the easel.
