February 9, 2007 - Buying supplies

The Mare & Foal painting is complete. It depicts a former race horse with her new foal. She is remembering her days of glory at the track, perhaps a little sad at having to give it up. But life goes on and now she has this new foal to raise.

I pay quite a lot for my canvas and other painting supplies so decided to try Wallacks which is in the west of Ottawa. Someone said their prices are quite reasonable. They have a lot of everything and I even picked up some odd sizes of canvas which are hard to find. I bought two long 30" by 10" canvas for $11 each and an oval canvas for 9 dollars. That is quite good.

I hope to start a new painting this weekend. It will be a departure from my horses. It is the Memphis Belle aircraft.
