A bit more detail work and color glazing. Now this painting is finished!
I am really enjoying working on larger paintings again. While I am painting I am continuing to prepare new wood panels. When winter rolls around I will be stocked up just like the squirrels.
I have always loved watching clouds and weather systems rolling through. I very often find myself echoing nature in my studio, it is the heart of my work.
This is one of the many small paintings I have done in the last couple months. Today I am moving onto my first 18” x 24” painting in a number of months. Excited to get back to a larger scale.
A new nocturne painting in the studio. I really love the mood of this piece. I might pursue some larger variations on this theme.

This summer I am busy working on some smaller paintings. Trying to find a balance of summer fun with family and friends and my studio obsession. Small works are a great way to explore ideas, the best ones will inspire larger paintings in the future.

The 24” square format is a pretty satisfying size to paint. Plenty of room for expression with a real sense of presence. I will definitely doing more work on these wood panels moving forward!
