Work in Progress - First Layer


Pictured above is my first pass at a new painting. At this point, I've roughly sketched out the painting and covered the entire surface with paint. Many areas are lacking contrast, and I will reinstate dark areas and add more depth in the next pass.

New Oil Painting


Pictured above is my latest oil painting, Story Time, oil on Gessobord, 20" x 16". I enjoyed using a more vibrant palette than usual for this piece, and may try a similar approach again in the near future.
