A big part of the process for me is prepping my own surfaces. I think it behooves any serious painter to learn how to stretch and prime their own canvas. This is flax linen which can be very finicky. You have to stretch it to within an inch of its life otherwise it will slack and sag once it’s dry.

Here’s a piece I finished a while back. It’s been hanging in my studio ever since, but now has to head into storage. It is available for purchase through Armature Projects. www.armatureprojects.com/glenn-hernan...

Chipping away at this piece…

There’s no use in going through my whole backlog of work from the last several years and posting it chronologically so I’ll just start with the last oil painting I did after the madness of the election and before the holidays.
