My hope for this blog is that it will document my progression as an oil painter. While I have not studied art in a formal setting, I do study art on my own time. Each new painting is a study in color and technique, trial and error. Every second is a study in perspective.

'Bridge to Harpers Ferry'
11" X 14" Oil on Panel
$125
I was going for a washed out look and I think I accomplished that. I also like the light on the side of the faces...The figures are pretty impressionistic, but you might recognize a couple of them if you look closely.
I ran into an unexpected problem last week that I didn't know was possible...Two people bought the same painting! In the past, PayPal has sent me a notice when someone purchased a painting, but in this case it did not and same painting was purchased twice. So, if you want to buy something and there is a "buy now" button beneath the painting, just send me an email or make a comment to let me know. I haven't been using the "buy now" buttons lately because they are a hassle, but a lot of the older paintings have a "buy now," option.

I see me!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've exaggerated parts of the composition to emphasize space and time. I agree, nice job with the light on their faces!
ReplyDeleteYo - you still painting?
