I have experiemented with various types and particularily like the Raymar panels although they do not come in all the sizes that I like. I have never made my own panels and think that I would find it too time consuming. I am a little impatient and would rather be painting as well. I have enjoyed your work for a long time. I really like your color sense and the interesting compositions that you construct. Thank you very much for leaving a comment on my work.LindaHunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17581733512337631356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808192487561666824.post-49125586783976072722010-02-18T19:15:04.634-08:002010-02-18T19:15:04.634-08:00hello...this is my first time to your blog...and I...hello...this is my first time to your blog...and I just have to say this...<br />though I understand your 'canvas/surface' dilema....I would just like to say that your paintings are lovely no matter what you work on! <br />I'll keep on looking here for a bit before heading off to bed...<br />but I'd like to invite you to my blog for a visit sometime...<br />ciaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808192487561666824.post-18536457685717675082010-02-18T18:57:46.669-08:002010-02-18T18:57:46.669-08:00Hi Saundra--I have used modeling paste before, an ...Hi Saundra--I have used modeling paste before, an interesting surface, but didn't work very well for me. The panel I used for this painting was so bad, I bit the bullet and spent the money to order some Raymar panels. I've heard such good things about them. Now I can't wait for their arrival!Nancy Merkle Fine Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149723876837778195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808192487561666824.post-54150042272304469402010-02-18T18:12:49.869-08:002010-02-18T18:12:49.869-08:00I know what you mean Nancy...I've experimented...I know what you mean Nancy...I've experimented extensively myself. I absolutely love this piece...there is something about your composition, the color choices and subject matter that is lovely and well done...I haven't painted on canvas panels in some years, but I think it will last a good while...my favorite for oils is mdf panel...but then I enjoy the smooth surface...no canvas texture to deal with...however, I still work on several until I am totally satisfied! Have you ever covered your canvas with modeling paste? FUN TEXTURE!! Keep on keeping on!!Saundra Lane Gallowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11646614500887997846noreply@blogger.com
