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.
This blog is for the new direction my wood carving art is taking me. To the canvas and easel. As I have learned, almost all color theory is found in canvas based art. I found that as I was reading how to employ for a carving, I had the urge to buy a canvas and just give it a try. You will find mostly a loose or impressionistic style as the two concepts of color and composition are dominant. That works for me.

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.
