New Work; "Steambath"
"Steambath" is 12" x 12" oil on gessoed hardboard. I prefer the smooth finish and stable hard surface over canvas. It's easier for me to sketch in a few values before beginning the painting when the surface is not bouncing up and down with my favorite mechanical pencil. And there's no risk of poking my pencil through like I did when I got a little zealous with a canvas once. I'm not quite finished. A few more refinements; fix the wayward elipse on the lid, add the steam, of course, and get a little more crisp edge on the handle. Then get a high resolution photograph and she's good to go.
