This one is still in progress. lots of layers, lots of glazes. The water around the North Shore of Lake Superior gets very red/muddy like this in storms and it's not translating well to canvas.
Hard to tell in the photo, but I have pretty much completely repainted this one. Still working on a driftwood stump in the foreground. Lots of red in the blacks/greens. Very warm.
This one is larger. Very cool. Lots of layers so far. Want a very distant/realistic feel.
My next study of a master. I started redoing "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Decided I don't plan to every paint in that style so I am re-interpreting this piece in my own style.
Started my painting class tonight. It's a landscape class taught by Joseph Pacquet. Very technical. Working with GOOD paints (expensive). He is teaching the "prismatic" method. Basically, I think it means more blue and less yellow as things go backwards, more yellow/red as they come forwards. It's hard and I don't like most of the work of the other students. A good reminder of why my landscape needs to be different.... Image above is the start of my underpainting. Hannah will be so proud!
