I started two new paintings this week, I didn't know if I wanted to post pictures of the progress on this one, but the other one isn't working quite the way I want it to.......so...... this is the one you get. It is a little farther along than I had intended, but that happens. Regular prep of the hardboard canvas, this time I didn't do much in the way of a initial sketch, I decided to "wing" this one. I think the main subject will be a mule deer, we'll see. The inspiration for the landscape on this piece is up Willard Canyon, an absolutely beautiful place that we found last year. There is no way I will ever be able to get the rocks to look the way they actually do in real life but I will do my best. Stay tuned.
