A WORK IN PROGRESS,,,

To be continued.

Only a beginning in oil.

But so far

I'm liking it.

I may turn it upside down,,,

or not.

Maybe just incorporate the darks

on the bottom 1/3.

Who knows.

I will explore it more

after this last layer dries,

(it's quite thick)

and I return from the lake.

It feels good to play in oil

again.

And to be painting, period!

LAST LAKE POST

Well, at least for now.

I must paint soon!

If you care to leave comments about the previous post,
please do that here.
I guess either Blogger or I ,,,,,
one of us,,, is having technical issues.

MAGICAL

There's something very magical
about life at the lake.

And I have no idea why the comments are waaaay

down there.

Must be magic.

LANDSCAPE REVISITED

This is the completely re-worked

version of the painting I previously posted.

It wasn't 'me' before, now it is.

A collage of clay, paint, and organic

materials, including dried moss.

I'm getting better with my new camera,

the colors are only slightly off, the blue

isn't actually quite this bright.

See you in a few days,,,heading back to the lake tomorrow, building railings on the deck.

SOMETIMES LOVE MEANS LETTING GO

UNTITLED LANDSCAPE

An Unfinished, acrylic 11x14 WIP

I am out of gel medium

and need it to paint the foreground

rocks and boulders.

This is where that 5 letter

slogan that I love comes into play:

"Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance"

I see a trip to the supply store in my near future. I also need to add more darks

and more definition in the mid-range background. Maybe more color in the sky,,,,, And highlights. And,,,and,,,

Oh well, I really was just playing with the camera. Color is better, I think,,,but it looks a bit

washed out. I used no flash.

Whatever. I will figure it out.
