Sitting securely in the easel is a four foot by two foot canvas...untouched, empty, devoid of any content...I bought it yesterday, thinking I might have a vision to lay upon it. Nothing. Or nothing which I feel competent painting.
One option i had was a still life of a liverwurst sandwich and a glass of beer (go with what I know!), but that seems too small a topic for such a decent-sized canvas.
Another option was to title whatever I painted "American Idyll," and do a pastoral scene...complete with animal, man and...well...the great outdoors. But I question my ability to pull it off.
So, a challenge.
A friend is coming to visit tonight,and perhaps her presence will inspire or catalyze a vision.
Or perhaps the music that I play as I paint might do the same.
Until then...
