Now complete!  Please visit my Dunlop Demonstrations blog to view 'Preparing Oil Primed Linen" in my studio in a complete step-by-step demonstration... 
 
In addition, I invite you to  SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER here in my official website.  You'll be one of the first and it will certainly be 'hot-off-the-press' as I haven't even sent out the first one yet! Another work in progress....an artist's life is never done. Maybe that's what makes it so much fun!

If you have a topic that you'd like me to touch on in my newsletter, or perhaps you have a question about my working methods...please write and make the suggestion, I'd love to hear from you.   I'll take a look at the topic suggestions and I'll give it my best shot.

What's New?  I've just taken on a commission very recently and I'm thrilled about it.  I've built an incredibly beautiful new oil primed canvas for it, as reported in my demonstration blog (above) and it is now curing in my studio.   The commission came to me through an advertising agency and the client is launching a campaign next month with paintings by myself and 4 other artists.   I will post a photograph of the painting when it is complete and the campaign is underway.   This means that I'll be consumed with it, however, so don't look for a newsletter in that time and perhaps things will be a little slow going for my daily painting endeavor, as well.  Deadlines are deadlines.  

As I mentioned, I am quite thrilled to have been chosen for this commission.   I'm not big on commissions, particularly.  As a result I'm very selective about them, rarely doing them.  This is one of those rare ones.  The ones where the client says, go for it.   It'll be fun.
