Stretch Stretch

It has been a while since I did this, but I just cut canvas from a large bolt of fabric and stretched it over a frame.  The process all came back to me, and the results were right on the money.  The diagonal corner measurements were right on, so the frame remained square.  Also, the canvas was taut, and gave that drum sound when tapped.  I forgot how you can work up a sweat preparing a canvas.  

Not sure where this piece is going, creatively.  Even before I apply the gesso, now starts the staring, the gazing, into the blank canvas before me.
