BIG WHITES

This painting is still in progress, I have had many problems with this painting and not one has to do with the image itself. It was going so well and then I noticed the canvas was warped so I had to restretch it. This painting is 48" x 48" so restretching was a chore. When I finished stretching it I bumped it and it fell on an object and it tore a hole in the canvas. I have repaired it and I am back to painting again. I think this painting deserves to be finished, it has been through so much and still it looks beautiful.
