Here is the completed wash underpainting for a new studio piece. It is to capture a wonderfully quiet little afternoon event, where a kitty became fixated on a particular shadow slowly moving about: "Ladybug?" 24 x 30 oil painting - in progress.
Here is an easel snapshot of my late autumn afternoon plein air painting. It's good to be back with it, and wrestling anew with an inspiration I've been following for a couple years now. I'll update again before long with new progress: "December Bright" 14 x 24 oil painting in progress.
Here is another of my garden hybrid paintings, begun plein air and completed in the studio: "Hydrangeas in Sun" 8 x 6 oil painting.
Another season just completed with my early autumn morning plein air painting, and here's how far it got for the year: "Morning Path" 32 x 40 oil painting - in progress.
The sun-filled streambed along with a lovely set of sparkling ripples are the inspiration for this newly begun piece. Its time is September to mid-October, and I'll look forward to seeing it again next year: "Summer's Ending Ripples" 12 x 20 oil painting - in progress.
Here is how far my early autumn basswood painting got for the year. It was such a good season with it, refining the leaves, finally getting to the water, and much of the foreground: "Fallen toward Fall" 24 x 36 oil painting - in progress.
Here is an oldie from a few of my wife's hairstyles ago. It had been set aside unfinished, but with fresh eyes I recently groomed it into a better hair day: "Hairspray" 17 x 12 oil painting.
