A blog for the musing and rants about painting, the business of painting, getting old, passing along good stuff, links, tutorials and tidbits.

 

It's been a long time. Finally Duncan.

September 28, 2015

It was a summer to forget. Projects failed, Just enough health issues to slow me down and the damn heat. Next year air-conditioning. 

This is the first painting finished in a while. It's of our 2 year old Decoverly Setter Duncan. 13x20 oil on linen. It's painted with a new paint from Geneva Fine Art . Geneva Paint are colors balanced to the limited palette of Mark Carder and manufactured to the quality and consistency that he teaches. The paints are great. They take a little getting used to as that they a thinner and longer drying the I would prefer. But the color makes up for most of their shortcomings.

This painting of Duncan was done in about 4 hours. I was able to achieve the looseness because of Geneva Paints. At first I was fuming but as it came together I was happy.
