Frozen Result, 18x12, possibly for sale if you ask nice enough. |
This scene is at my new place and caught my eye when i first came to view it. I know I will be trying again in the near future but hopefully a little warmer out when I do.
A rumor I heard once is that (have I said this before?) Russian painters used to bring vodka to mix into their oils to keep them looser, the paint that is.. Sure they did..
Thanks for stopping by!

I guess if you're lazy that quote is pretty comforting.. ha! I'm kidding..

Well....I think I rather like it...especially the brushwork. Must have something to do with the cold stiff paint.
Hey Darrell, thank you! I have to admit, I kinda do to. It seems to be a doorway into looser work.. I may step thru. Gotta see what's in there right?
I keep trying to get looser but haven't quite found my voice yet....yes, we keep trying...
I admire the way you've controlled the close values with subtle colour changes. More lovely brushwork.
Great spontaneity here, Dan! I especially like the mood of the painting.
Hey Mick, thank you! It was all a blurr, a chilly blurr!
Thank you Matt! Cold is a mood. ;)
If you haven't found your voice yet Darrell, I'm enjoying following you look for it!
This one sums up where I think your work is heading. It's really exciting, and I can't wait for more. You da man!
Thank you Kyle! I agree, this may be the natural progression showing early pre spring buds.
