Stretching a large canvas is quite difficult and one of the hardest jobs of beginning a painting. There are still a few small wrinkles that will have to be stretched, but should pose no problem, but I have a good smooth surface to work upon. Soon I'll begin the process of creating the composition in the under painting. This will be a little bit different that the original concept in that I'd like the camera to be just a bit higher so that we aren't looking into a flat representation of geometry, and the background will be take from the Ledges State Park. One of the many places in Iowa of great natural beauty.
