Big Things Are Happening

 

Pink Granite Coast, 2025 Oil on Canvas, 30"x40"

For the past 3 months I've been working larger than I usually do. In my early days, I always painted large. Once, in my little attic studio, I created one so large I couldn't get it out the door.  I had to take the canvas off the stretcher.  The other difference is due to the size, I'm painting on canvas.  It's a very different feel with the brush and application results.   The above painting came from a photo source by Copper Giloth.  She was on the Cote de Granite Rose in Northern Brittany.  I was intrigued by the geometric forms, the deep distance and the color.  

Cranberry Harvest #9, 2025, Oil on Canvas 30"x40"

Cranberry Harvest #9 remains unfinished.  I'm not satisfied with the texture or size of the large red swath.  I may pull some more water across it.  Maybe take one of the two blue shapes in the upper left and run in diagonally across.  Stay tuned.

Cranberry Harvest #10, Oil on Canvas , 20"x60"

This is a bog in Duxbury, MA that Wayne photographed years ago.  I'm going to see if I can locate it.  This is session #9 so about20 hours.  I'm working from the far ground to the near ground.
