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.

Sunset on the Plains

This panoramic painting is now complete and is listed on my Etsy website. It contains lots of color and contrast, and emphasizes the dominance of nature against the farm silhouette.

Painting in Progress

I will from time to time, on this blog, give an update of a painting I am working on. I have always liked the work of the American impressionist George Sotter, and especially his night paintings. This influence has led me to create one of my own. This painting has the under-painting in and the sky almost complete. I used a combination of thalo blue and cadmium red light for the dark values and painted the cloud cover in-wet. At completion this painting will be posted here and in my Etsy shop.
