Staying very productive. Met with Jeffrey Ebeling from group 1 this week. Another great art meeting as always. Started out last week finishing a copy of Edward Hopper's The Long Leg (see above). LOTS of blue in this one. Also, my digital pictures never quite do these justice.
Working on my own black. Taking lots of different methods with the brush in these landscapes. None of them are ever the same twice. This one above is in response to my mentor Christine Willcox's ideas about animals and anthropomorphism. She lent me a book I am reading through on this subject. The working title for the one above is Bad Tree. Trying to create menace and suspicion. Sort of like Bob Ross' "Happy Trees."
This one was originally inspired by Monk by the Sea by Caspar David Freidrich. Mostly he influenced initial layout, colors, and painting details.
The next two landscapes I'm trying to block out areas of color ahead of time. This is a VERY different method for landscape than I usually work in.

Brandon, Bad Tree rules!! So unexpected and strange amongst the happy little trees.
