Found my wings and took off in a new direction...Here's the scoop: Last weekend I went to Menards an bought a sheet of Baltic Birch-faced Plywood. Top-o-the-line stuff. Ripped it up into 2' x 4' panels, and rounded off the corners. Sanded them all down nice and smooth and finally got to the first one today. I've been working on the sketch for a little bit, getting the colors right, and working out details. I want to have a show in December of January for the series. We'll see how that pans out.
Here's the goods: (currently untitled), 24" x 48", Soft Pastel on Wood...
