This is the next stage of the boathouse painting. I am focusing layering colors on the trees, working on shadows and defining the them against the sky. I've added more layers in the water reflections, really trying to cover over the underpainting.
This shows the next stage of the boathouse painting. I've worked on the sky quite a bit and have started layering darks into the trees, the building and the reflection of the building. I also added some preliminary lights into the water.
This is the underpainting of a new piece I just started. I'm going to shoot it in stages of completion and post my progress. This image is the boathouse reflected in the lake at Washington Park in Denver, Colorado.
This is a plein air piece I created during the Augusta Plien Air Art Event, which was a wonderful experience. The people who organize it are amazing and the locals are welcoming. But with the economy, the sales were low compared to last year. I am already looking forward to next year. Could the economy please give us artists a break?!
One of my recent paintings in my new Paris series. I'm using a lighter palette for this series. It is taking me back to my vacation in the city of light. Paris is truly magical.
