work in progress

I am working on a new landscape. In the first image the colors are roughed in. In the second the foreground dark value is established. In the third the clouds are softened somewhat and the horizon is more detailed with some orange and yellow indicated and some definition added to the bottom of the clouds. Next will be deciding what to include in the foreground.

Mountain View

A few minor changes and this painting is now listed on Etsy.

Work in Progress

I am working on a new nightscape. I have admired the work of George William Sotter, especially his night paintings, and have used this same theme occasionally. I used three coats of Cadmium Orange and Ultramarine Blue mixed for the background. The second photograph has some additional detail added. This painting will be listed on Etsy when finished.

Winter Slope

This is a painting I have been working on. It combines two different paint applications. It is 11 X 14, has a palette knife under-painting and was over-painted with a fan brush on gallery wrapped canvas. It indicates a more loose, painterly approach with cool colors in the background and warmer in the foreground. It is almost finished and will be listed in my Etsy shop.

Purple Sage

This new painting is something a little different. I used a fan brush almost exclusively on this one. It gives this work a light, airy, impressionistic feel. It is 11 X 14 on Ampersand archival quality gesso board panel and is now listed in my Etsy shop.

Aspens

This is a new original painting. I liked the contrast of the yellow aspen trees against the dark green background. Stream was added to create interest in the foreground and lead the viewers eye into the scene. This painting has been added to my Etsy shop.
