Large Landscape

 This one may look familiar.
I created this painting last September.




Then I painted this one but I knew I still wasn't done with those particular photo references.

So, I kept thinking about it.
And thinking about it. 
Then I thought I'd combine 2-3 of the photos references together and I managed to put together this rendering on the canvas.


So far so good. Right?


To say that I added colour tentatively would be a very accurate description. 


So, we are few weeks in now and I think we can see where this is going. I'm planning on keeping as much sky in as I can. By bringing more space into the composition I'm hoping it loosens something that allows the painting some relief from all that is happening in at the bottom. 
We will see.


     Sorry, it's still not done yet. It's a big one (24" by 36"). I'll keep you updated.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
