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

 

From here to the Catskills 9 x 24 oil on linen board 2018

The winter around here

February 1, 2019

Around here I seem to always looking out of some valley made by some tiny little creek. Then there are spots like this when pop there you are looking 50 miles into the next state over.

I chose this to paint because it’s a natural composition. I painted with chromatic neutral mixes enhanced with color. The dark in the middle ground is a cloud shadow. They always amaze me the way they change the landscape as they sail over us.

This scene his about a quarter of a mile away from the painting in my October 16 blog post “A view along the way”

I may fix it up a bit. Or not.
