First Love

30″ x 40″ x 3/4″

This canvas is the first in my Paper Towel series.  Very early into painting, I found that I couldn’t throw out the paper towels that I wiped my brushes on when I would find them the next day.  They would be dried up in interesting shapes, with their own unique colors and designs, and I never knew what random objects would have gotten stuck to them the day before.  I began saving them all in a shopping bag until one day I decided to glue them to a canvas to see what it would look like- and I haven’t stopped ever since! All paper towels wrap around the canvas.
