Fall Art Show

Fall Art Show. Two new paintings almost completed for this fall’s Art shows.

Fall Art Show

A lot has been done in one week.  These paintings are approaching the finish line.  Both need a little bit more detail and shadow work and they’ll be complete. (click on each picture to see close up)  The barn has a reflection in the pond and I put small white lines through it to help simulate water in the reflections.  The reeds on the bank of the pond are painted in with a mix of cerulean blue and burnt umber.  The grass is a mix of sap green, cobalt blue and burnt umber.  I need to finish the dirt road on thinned out burnt umber and paint the reed’s reflection in the water and I should be finished with this one.

The cabin painting need a little more work.  Once I complete the shadow work, I need to put something in the foreground.  Usually, I draw out what I intend to paint, but this time I didn’t do that and it shows.  I’ll decide what, if anything, to paint in the foreground once I finish with everything else.  If you look closely, you’ll see small pebbles in the road. This adds a little bit more realism and help make the painting more interesting.  These two paintings will be ready for the show in Augusta, GA next month.

Thanks for stopping by and check back soon to see how these two turn out.

Fall Art Show

These are two new paintings I’m doing for the Fall Art show in Augusta, GA. (click on each picture to see a close up)    The first one is a Red Barn that is next to a small pond, and the other is a country cabin scene with a sunrise in the background.  Both of these have green trees and grass so these won’t be autumn paintings, which is bad timing since I’m going to this art show in the fall.  Well, I decided to give the autumn paintings a break for now and do something different.  Both paintings have been blocked in and I’ve already painted the trees.  I’m starting at the back of the scenes and painting forward.  Next, I’ll block in the barn and cabin since these will be the most time consuming, and once they are completed the rest of the painting should go relatively fast.

Thanks for stopping by and check back soon to see how these paintings develop.

The cabin painting is done and the train just needs a touch-up here and there and it’ll be completed too (click on pictures to see close-up).  Both of these will be displayed at the Art in the Heart Festival in Augusta, GA Sept 20, 21, and 22.  I will start a new painting today, it’s a red barn as the subject and it’ll be a summer scene (I’ll give the fall and winter scenes a break for now).   Thanks for coming by and check back soon to see the progress on my new painting.

These paintings are progressing well (click on picture to see close-up).  I’ve started detailing on both and hope to have them done in about a day or two.  The cabin painting is practically done, I just need to fill-in the grass some more, touch up the road and add shadows and it’s finished.  The locomotive is a bit more complex, but it’ll be completed in a few days as well.  The locomotive painting is done on a gallery wrapped canvas and it’s looking great so far.

Thanks for coming by and check back soon to see how these two paintings look when they are completed.
