Octopus
Here is one way I often start an oil painting. I start by toning the canvas and wiping out the lighter tones with a rag. This is a quick way to overcome the challenge and intimidation of the white canvas. Below you can see the original photograph which I took at the Chicago Aquarium.
Morning Mist
Here is a recent painting captured from the start to finish. The inspiration for this painting was captured while kayaking in the early morning mist on the Potomac near Harper’s Ferry West Virginia. Many unique moments are fleeting that you can only enjoy momentarily. I was fortunate to capture this moment so that I can relive and share it again.
