 Working away. Gosh, this thing is complicated.

A Lovely Moment

 I love when the first bits of painting start to reveal all the supra-normal clarity the initial drawing can bring. 

Love it!

Well, This One's Complicated

Another new painting on the way...and lots of drawing atop the base coat to get it ready.

 

Drawing....

 I love the drawing part, the beginning part, of starting out on a new painting. I love the clarity of drawing too - it's its own world. 

This one will be of a view of the Eiffel Tower from The Trocadero...my first sight of it, this year.

Painting Preparation...

I'm doing some little 8x10" paintings of Paris. They're quick and lighthearted, and a nice change of pace after the last big three complex New York ones. 

A pale ground on a gesso panel, then just a framework of a drawing to guide the paint.

Ugh! This one! Do something complicated to see how you pull it off, I thought. It'll be fun, I thought. Ack.

Hooo boy.

New York Trio

 I just finished these three moderately large oil paintings of New York City.

Although they're each separate and not a triptych as such, they were conceived together.

Each of them is five by three feet square. They'll be at O'Connor Gallery in Gananoque, Ontario.
