This is far from complete. Base layers of something slowly taking shape. But I’m enjoying trying different techniques, different tools (hey there toothbrush). And it is certainly teaching me patience. What I love the most though is the texture coming through from reusing the canvas. I wasn’t happy with the direction it was heading, so I took a walk around the city, came home and started this. Inspired by the #northendboston ♥️ . . . . . . #boston #bostonart #workinprogress #thenorthend #northend #acryliconcanvas #slowbutsteady #buildingtexture #texture #recycledart #recycledcanvas #oldbutnew #goodthingstaketime #sharingisscary #art #artinprogress #artinthemaking #cityart #canvaspainting #canvas #canvasart #canvasartwork #acrylic #practicemakesperfect #cityinspiration

Windows

Took a stroll through the North End yesterday, and the light was perfect to admire the almost psychedelic reflection of nearby trees in the few remaining slumped glass panes of the windows at St. Stephen's, also known as Boston's New North Church, established in 1704. These panes date to at least the 19th century, possibly earlier- although none had the telltale purple tint of some 18th century window glass. Slumped glass isn't perfectly milled as commercially produced glass is today, instead it retained it's natural undulations formed when the molten glass was poured into sheets. Not the best for looking through, but so wonderful to look at! You can really see the difference between the old glass and modern panes. #oldglass #northendboston #littleitaly #boston #newnorthchurch #slumpedglass #preservation #reflections #winterlight #february
