More on the Collaboration


Once Mike and I got into the studio to work together, it was a great experience. Our styles are so very different, we had a blast learning from one another.
We'd start out each working on our own canvas. I thought we'd paint a little, then switch, paint some more, talk about our choices, switch again, etc. So much for having a plan.

Our set up was back to back, each with an easel and canvas in front of us.
As we worked, we would turn around to see what was happening. Before we knew it,
we wound up so engaged in what the other was doing, we worked on both pieces together a good portion of the time.
These two images show the first layers of color on each painting and we've each had a hand on both canvases.
We wound up working together most Saturdays, about 3 hours or so, for about 4 months.
We're not done yet......
