dancers, 32x22” oil on portrait linen, march, 2025, was stretched today
12:13 PM: a special, very thin stretcher bar with brace arrived yesterday for dancers, 32x22” which was painted back in march. i didn’t leave enough canvas because i thought i’d end the painting where you see the pencil marks. but after mikela came and looked at it, i realized i’d be cutting off some of the richness of this composition, so i had to order a custom made, very thin stretcher bar, allowing me just enough room to include the edges of the composition, which would have been a real shame to lose. so here she is, stretched.
