Work in progress

Work in progress 30" x 38" oil on hardboard

The Maroon Bells commission piece is progressing nicely.  It's useful to photograph it and look at it in miniature, like this, from time to time, too.  I see things when it's down small that would otherwise be missed.  I also drop the colour, too, so it's shades of grey—useful in checking the values—lights and darks.

IN PROGRESS

IN PROGRESS 30" x 38" Oil on hardboard

The mountains were not prominent enough for my clients, so I brought them a little closer. Would that I could move mountains in my day to day life!  

I've applied a base coat of color to the whole panel with my little snippets of sponge.  Tomorrow I'll employ my Rosemary & Company brushes to chisel out some of the details that will begin to bring The Maroon Bells to life—stroke by stroke.
