Recycle And Reuse

Today, I decided to reuse an older canvas that had an unfinished painting started on it. I do this a lot. I bet I have canvasses that have a couple layers underneath a finished painting. It works for me! I knew I was never going to finish this particular work so why waste a canvas. 

   I broke out my bottle of gesso and lightly covered the canvas. Some of the previous painting still shows through but that's not an issue. As long as it's obliterated a bit, it won't be a distraction when I go to paint another image over it. And, sometimes, it can act as an underpainting of sorts as well. Now to just decide what to put on it......to be continued..........
