Our Daily Bread - Commission for the UMC Parlor



I've decided to log another painting as it progresses. Mainly so that those at the First United Methodist Church in Wellington, Kansas, want to peek into my studio and see it as it comes to life, they can.
This is a large painting for me, it measures 26x38 inches. It is linen that I stretched myself (I don't particularly like stretching canvas but this was kind of an odd shape.) I did a wash of thinned down Transparent Oxide Red and let it dry for a week or so. This is the initial sketch, as you can see it is pretty basic, just enough to get the correct scale and placement on the canvas.
That's all for now, I'll post after each painting session so stay tuned.
