I've been prodigiously busy this week so I'm going to spare the effort of writing a separate post for each painting and, instead, group a few together. All the paintings will be for sale at stop #4 on the WLAST tour.
Barry. 8"x6", oil on linen panel. 2014.
I painted this small picture of Barry from a cell phone photo that our veterinarian provided me, I did this in the winter and I'd forgotten all about it,until I found it while rummaging through a pile of studies in my studio last week.
The Road to Montcalm. 10"x8" oil on panel. 2014.
I had an emergency this week when a roll of linen that arrived was defective and had to be returned, Suddenly finding myself without anything to paint on I turned to a salvaged panel that I had laying around. Primed panels always seem to bring out a certain smooshy texture in my painting, but I managed to keep it relatively under control in this case.
After letting it dry for a few days, I went back and made adjustments to the values in the trees.
Pigling. 9"x12" oil on linen panel. 2014.
And here's the final painting, finished this morning. Enjoy!
