I got a little more done today. This rugged terrain, spotted with cedar trees is very interesting to paint. The distant land in background is behind the veil of humidity for depth. I hope I will have time to work on it again tomorrow.

Thick Paint Today!
My paint was thicker today than usual, and it can be hard to control but managed to make it work! 5×7″ Canvas Board
Rolling Up the Carpet #10 (Final)
It’s nice to get some time to finally finish this one. I experimented with textures. 7×14″ gallery wrap canvas.
Rolling Up the Carpet #9 (WIP 1)
“Rolling Up the Carpet” is the name I give for paintings of hay bails, although the sky is always of big interest to me in pictures of the plains. From our house we have a wide open view of the Southern sky. I’m especially watchful when thunderheads are developing.

Sunlight Through Tree (Finished)
Where to put leaves is kind of like a puzzle. The fight against my brain to not make a repeated pattern and keep it random. I enjoy painting trees, almost as much as I do clouds. 😊

Sunlight Through Tree WIP1
I thought I would keep working on trees now and then. It’s similar to studying the figure, except they vary more, and have a more random element added to them, but they do have limbs. This is the first step of the underpainting.
Now I’ve added the clumps of leaves. The underpainting helps me work out the shapes, and negitive space.
“School Under the Trees” WIP3
Blocked out where there was too many leaves. Put in some of the background elements. Reworked the sketch in of the people. Might have to do more with all of that. Then I will work on the ground, and the picture has gallery edges.

“School Under the Trees” WIP1
An underpainting for “School Under the Trees.” I illustrated a book about the “Lost Boys of Sudan,” used to raise enough funds to a build school in South Sudan. Construction will begin soon. 🙂
This is a painting I’m creating for their annual auction. Underpainting made with fluid acrylics, 12″x16″x1.5″ stretched canvas.
