Woodbridge Island Hunting Shack.

Another timed landscape.  3 Hours.
9x12 oil on linen panel. 

I used a premix of Neutral Greys from Cad Orange and Ultramarine Blue.  Using this mix really helped with the tone of the painting and to tie all the colors (as muted as they were)  This shack is purported to be a duck camp for Hank Garvey a fellow decoy carver and sports enthusiast.  I added the eider/scoter flight and differing cloud formations from different reference.

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse

9x12
Oil on Linen Panel

I painted this in studio with a time limit.  About 3 hours. 

The challenge was for my to work in the muted whites of an overcast but bright day.  It may still be too bright.  I plan to work my next painting with some premixed greys.

Harvest Still Life

11x14
Oil on Linen Panel

Painted this over the last month.  I have made so many changes to it. It is very difficult to paint these squash.  This is where I really respect artelier or classic artists.  \
