Frustrated by lack of time to paint, I had one hour in my studio. I mixed colours previously chosen and worked quickly , no time for deliberation! I decided to leave it and hopefully start another soon. It is oil on linen which is a surface new to me and I really like it. 18” x14”

Your comment thank you Louise and Karen. Some recent canvases I bought were really absorbent and the paint seemed to go dull over time a short time. They were Windsor and Newton and I had added additional primer. I had never had this problem before. Perhaps canvases vary in absorbency. I find the linen surface easier to work on , more free flow.
I love this one too….fab colours, marks, light…everything works really well. It is quite something when it all happens so fast. I love Louise’s comment about relinquishing control! How different is linen to work on? What do you find better about it compared to cotton canvas surface?
This is really nice Elizabeth- a really good example of what unexpected things can happen when you work quickly and relinquish control! Very useful to find out that you like working on linen too
