Canvas The Town

Another meal sketch. Tried to put the figure over an abstract, but more or less ended up with surrealism. Got some larger stretchers for some sort of dinner painting. These may all get overpainted, or torn to shreads. As it is, I’ve been turning a lot of the earlier stages over and restreatching the unprimed side and painting on that (Bacon used to prime the opposite side and paint on the raw canvas, preferring the way it caught the paint and tugged at the brush and I have to say he was on to something).
