48″x36″ acrylic painting.
I was working on this while also painting “Sea Change”, which I recently posted. They certainly share some color and lighting approaches. I typically like to work on a few paintings at the same time. The end result being you have three paintings that work well together and it keeps the momentum up. These paintings were so large that two was plenty!
This is another large acrylic painting (48″x36″).
I am working on a number of large paintings currently. This one is basically finished!
I completed the unwieldy cow painting I started about a week ago. The finished painting is 48″x36″ mounted on a 3″ deep cradled board.
I could not fit the painting in my photo cube and had to take a photograph of it leaning against a wall. This painting has a lot of interesting shine beneath the surface which makes it intriguing in person but difficult to photograph.
Some final photographs from a fun getaway weekend. The weather cooperated and it really felt like spring!
A long weekend at Lake Pend Oreille. Always great to get away and spend time with Mother Nature.
I went on a six mile hike that reminded me of my age and questionable physical condition. I was rewarded with solitude, a sense of accomplishment and wildlife. I saw moose droppings. I flushed three white tail deer. Enjoyed the chattering of squirrels along with the lonely call of a varied thrush.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
This is a large bovine painting I am currently working on. The painting is 48″x36″.
This is an 18″ x 18″ acrylic painting.
This is an 18″x18″ acrylic painting.
I read somewhere the description of tonalist painting as “breath on glass”. The idea of something barely there. That phrase echoes in my mind now and again… It is a beautiful notion.
I just received the postcard for my art show in the mail! It looks a lot like a “wanted” poster which is pretty great.
Here is a photograph of two large water pieces I recently finished. Both of these paintings are acrylic and three feet by four feet. It is exciting to paint larger pieces again but of course they also take up a lot of room!
