The beginning of painting on wood

So I have one painting started yesterday, it is still in progress. No pics of that one yet. It is a work in progress. :)

But here is the very beginnings of one on wood. I added gesso and was waiting for it to dry and was watching donna downy on ustream. I got to dabbing at the gesso and went ahead and started to sketch out the rough outline of the face. I like the way it etches into the gesso.

I am letting it sit now. Time to skype with my daughter, :) Just had Bible study for Good Friday!!

Anyway....I will lay a coat over the face and start to collage and then finish the face. Hope to have finished painting up by sunday.

I think I will post progress pics...:) Why not right?

He LIVES!!
