The New Project ...

I began a new painting the other day. It will be a New England autumn scene, featuring farm buildings, fall trees and a mountain background.

The canvas is three feet wide by two feet high.

Here is the first step (after Gessoing the canvas.) This is all drawing with dark acrylic paint. I don't use a pencil to draw.


Here is the next step. This is after I put in the basic underpaint.


The next step: After it dries, coat the entire canvas with clear acrylic matte varnish. That will allow the paint to flow better once it is dry. Then I will begin painting secondary, or over-colors in the broader areas before I get down to detail.

I think artists must have to learn how to paint from the inside out. That can't be easy - I guess that's why you have to learn about bones and muscles if you're going to paint people. That one is going to be gorgeous!

Not that one. The one hanging in your ex-wife's dining room. If you'll paint another one like one, I'll buy it. Want a commission?

Sooooo good to see you working on bigger canvases! How big is your "masterpiece" that I covet for my livingroom?

Speaking as somebody who can't draw a straight line with the assistance of a ruler, I am VERY impressed with your talent!
