IS SPRING OVER?

Mist Lifting , 24x36, oil $1400, framed in simple gold.

start

Mist - almost finished - can you spot the differences in the finished version?

and my palette after the finishing.

You saw this painting on an earlier blog. It didn't take this long to paint it, just this long to decide what tweaking was needed. Or maybe I just wanted to prolong the season.

I feel an urge to paint horses now.........

Just fabulous. You amaze me. I think spring is done, but not sure what we have other than rain, rain, and clouds.

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
