Snow Day

Although it's actually raining out right now.....It's supposed to snow again later today and all day tomorrow, so teenager stayed home.

I just put the second coat of white gesso on a large-ish canvas that I got at the thrift store for free. 

Stretched canvas is so expensive so I talked with the owner/manager of our local thrift store.  He frequently has canvases that he can't sell, so I periodically check in with him to see what he can give me.  :)

There has been one that I actually didn't gesso and paint over.  I really liked it and it's currently hanging over my TV. 

It makes me wonder who painted it and how it ended up in the thrift store.
