I gather and collect wood about once a week usually. Some of it needs to be trimmed, treated or prepped in some way before it gets used, but mostly the sun and desert weather give it a finish that is hard to emulate. Reclaimed wood has textures that are really, really unique and have great depth, making it my preferred canvas. I enjoy painting outside with plenty of room to walk around my paintings while I’m creating them. Each painting takes about an hour or two, excluding the time to find and prep the canvases, and are usually 2 X 3 feet or larger.
