It took all day to trace the cartoon onto the canvas for this painting. The new painting, Sub Rosa, is 44″ x 60″ and has seven figures in it.
After finishing the tracing, I lightly sprayed the surface with fixative. I’ll start the painting tomorrow.
I worked on the drawing for several days, as you might guess. I called it Sub Rosa from the beginning but now I can’t remember why I did so. Still, I like the name and I’ll keep it.
