Almost Sunny Morning
This is my first serious attempt at oil. My reference was a misty seashore but i tried to keep the color key high and bring in some pale purples. 8"x10" canvas paper. The oil is great in that you can scrub mistakes right off the canvas. I must have scrubbed that dark foreground 10 times before it came close to done. I still see a lot of areas for improvement, but overall its a positive step forward.
Sunny Day Veggies
This is an 8"x10" acrylic on canvas board. The sun was fantastic and the temperature perfect. I celebrated 2 hours in front of the easel with a nice cold beer.
House on a Hill
I like the way this house stood along in a field. It is a study and I worked from a photo reference. This is done with an acrylic base and oil overlay. 8.5"x11" on coated paper.
