| Rhododendrons 40x30 oil on linen This was painted in the south east corner of my studio. I have a view out to the garden. I'm posting several works I painted this year, mostly the mid-size to larger paintings. Most of my landscape painting has been small and on paper. Some other pieces I wasn't able to finish or they did not come together. With the very wet and foggy summer I painted more portraits and still life and also had fairly constant light in the studio. I have a larger portrait of Terry in progress but it's on hold. Next year I have a show of the works on paper at the Sewell Gallery in Eureka, Ca. I will post several of those closer to the show. |

ReplyDeleteIn many of your still life and indoor works I get a really definite sense that you are painting in a cool north light, and I think that's neat. I'm trying to understand what makes me perceive that, is it your colors, or your value range? I suppose it's both, and I'm looking at your works for study, as well as for their beauty.
ReplyDeleteI paint mostly under my skylight which is a cool light. The studio light is always more beautiful on an overcast day. It is the colors and value range that is very different than painting outdoors with the landscape flooded with sunlight.
