This is a 16' x 20" oil on clear gessoed linen. Started this one in the mid tone department and have been expanding out to more contrast. How vivid to make the colors...Do I gray them down...hmmmm
Good news is I'm having fun. So here it is so far a Lynx in the garden..pretty close to done.
A little more work:
This is a 16" x 12" oil on linen. The linen was gessoed with a clear gesso.
Another painting....Process continued.
Each painting I create furthers my understanding and abilities to get closer to what I want. What I want changes as I progress. Yes, Im enjoying the journey.
Here it is almost done..maybe one more day of attention.
24" x 30" oil on linen..."Makes you Wanna Howl" or "Yip Yip Coyote"...Not sure.
Second painting of the year....I photographed this guy on a trip to Montana. I'm thinking this is done
Here he is:
I finished the first painting of 2021.
"Muddy Waters" 30" x 24" oil on linen.
I hope I've done Gracie justice. Gracie is a wolf I photographed at a wildlife photography workshop in Montana.
Perhaps this is a reflection of this new year.....hmm
Gracie is her name. I photographed her on a trip to Montana.
This is a 30" x 24" oil on linen.
New discoveries mixed with slight lingering doubt...Stronger currents of "I'll be Me"
Got to say I am enjoying the process. Still working on her.
Here's some more progress on the 40" x 30" oil on linen of the "Great Ambassador".
Not done yet....
An Ode to a Great Ambassador, one who worked to give a better understanding of the world of Cheetahs.
The large spotted cat found in Africa and parts of Asia. The fastest animal on land kind of Cheetah.
This is a 40" x 30" oil on linen in the process. Probably the last painting of 2020.
I had the wonderful experience of meeting this Great Ambassador named Victor, photographing him and observing him.
He passed this year. In honor of him I paint this painting. RIP Victor the Great Ambassador.
