Looking really awkward at this stage of preparation. Need to gesso in order to do that colour thing which I've envisioned for this one. Gotta do that colour thing before I can incorporate more drawing & perhaps some shadowy forms in the raw canvas area.
I love this way of working, building a thing in stages and holding the idea in my mind while going through the necessary steps to get there.
Which is why I'm disappointed with myself over this one, because I lost the idea and went off track:
It puts me in mind of those paintings, you know, with colourful umbrellas and rain drops. Which I don't have any problem with on one hand... but on the other hand, this is a fairly large painting and I had envisioned something a little more sophisticated, based on the musical piece.
However, I will bring it back! Yes, I will! Because I am a professional and I can do it!
It's good to be able to pep-talk myself, with a little help from a friend who gave some thoughtful feedback on this one.

Here is an idea of the size:
Wish me luck!
