Well I'm going to call this painting done/Al Dente.
Perhaps leaving room for uncertainty may be more appealing.
So here it is
Oil on paper 12"x 17"
Title to be determined

Fox Painting Al Dente
Al Dente It should not taste uncooked......If there is a bit of translucency in the center, the pasta is done. That is al dente.

Fox painting on oil paper
I'm trying a new substrate, oil paper. The paint works pretty well with the surface.
I'm using both pallet knife and brush with a small amount of non toxic solvent.
Here's a first try, not yet done. I tend to work on a few pieces at a time.

So here's the Lynx on Wood...done mostly with pallet knife and some brush work.
9" x 12"

We'll see...

A Lynx painting
This is the starts of a Canadian Lynx oil on wood. I'm enjoying color.
After completing a few sketches and small color studies the Lynx painting begins. The substrate is a cradled birch wood which has been coated with an amber shellac. Once again I'm working with pallet knives . So far here it is:

Bear start for the new year
Bear Painting start.
After a fairly large set back the end of last year, a loss of a loved one, mom, I am back to work.
I photographed this bear, Bruno, last September when I attended a wildlife workshop in Montana.
This is a small piece an 8" x 10' oil on birchwood using pallet knife only that I am presently working on:
