Lone Fisherman in Canoe


Oil on Canvas, 20 x 16, Lone Fisherman in Canoe, ... started out as a monotone, added a lot of gold that is not showing up in photo's ... oval transparent glaze color complementary of mountains' colors added ... that should do it. Do what? I dunno, just "it."

Touch up is the name of the game now. I think I am getting into a systematic banging out paintings. We shall see: but I doubt it... Painting a day? ... and I am 256 behind.

After the Hurricane -- Gulf of Mexico



First Day Layout, oil on linen, 18 x 18, After the Hurricane -- Gulf of Mexico

UPDATE :: Painting a Day :: "Wranglers on the Purple Sage"


UPDATE 08.30.2010 :: Better snap shot of the piece, 20 x 24, oil on linen, Wranglers of the Purple Sage
*****
Camera phone photo balances the colors strange ... this has more mood indigo than it shows here.

Oil on linen, More Wranglers, this time out early on the sage, roping a pony for the day's work.
