Canvas Re-Do

I'm always struck how inspiration does just that...strike.  The sometimes urgent inspiration you can't wait to get to the swing in the opposite direction of where have you gone.... inspiration?  Rarely do I have a chance during the week to sneak into the Studio for any quality time.  Not that I don't do art all week long but, it usually isn't done in the quiet of the art studio.  Today however was different.  It started last night with a sketch and then today it transformed and ended up ( a slightly different version than my sketch) but, created on an old canvas piece.

This canvas is a re-do.  One from the pile of "my gosh what was I doing when I did this piece," kind of pile.  Isn't it wonderful what gesso, paints, papers, markers, pastels, and a piece of time out of an otherwise so-so day can yield?  Think I'll call this piece: Thankful!
