A New Beginning
I started this new piece by layering a 4' x 5' sheet of cotton cheese cloth over a similar sized piece of cotton broadcloth. Since it was too big to fit on my portable painting surface, I taped it to the top, and let half the fabric hang over the edge. I planned to paint in two different color families, so I thought I would paint each one separately. I usually paint all my colors at once, so this is a bit of a departure from the usual.

Above, you can see the full sized piece of cheesecloth after it finished drying.
I painted the blue first, and it bled into the unpainted area.
After the blue (sky) was dry, I painted the earth.
