Glamour Sky, 30"x40," while in progress, September 2011.
9/1/11. This is my favorite stage of a painting. It's a turpentine wash and then I use a rag to wipe-draw the shapes and values, giving me the light effects I want right at the outset. I enjoy the looseness and energy of the marks at this stage, and the painting seems full of potential!
Sept.2. A lake with boats is starting to emerge, but it's really all about the sky.
Sept.8 --finishing the sky. It's from a photograph I took in Pine Mountain about ten years ago.
later on Sept.8. I invented the lower half of the painting, letting it suggest itself to me as I worked. Rather than a line of dark silhouetted trees, I'm playing with the color at this point. It's all in there, and now I can modify.
Sept.13--finished.
