Islands The painting begins

Posting something that is not at all done...I usually do not do this but it is my plan with this Islands painting to post as it is being painted.

There are 3   24 x 48 canvases  so the "photo part"  is hard in my studio. 

  I can only stand 2 at a time on the large easel. 

(And this blog seems to flip the images clockwise 

so my image is on its side so ....

I will have to fix that before I post more!)
