I may have mentioned a large commission painting that I am working on.....this little 6x8 is one of the studies I am working on for that job. The final work will be 40x60 so I want to have a pretty good idea of what will take up all that space before I get started.  sold

"In Flight on the Dungeness" oil landscape painting

The wildlife, especially the different birds were amazing at the mouth of the Dungeness. The caretakers of this beautiful wetland marsh do a good job managing the resource. This was a smaller study from the images I got there.

"At The Mouth of the Dungeness" oil landscape painting

It's hard to tell the scale of paintings on this blog but this one is 48x24. It is the largest canvas I have attempted so far and it is for a commission project that I received a few months ago. I spent a couple days scouting, sketching and painting the Dungeness river while camping out in the parking lot of the Three Crabs restaurant. When I got back with all my reference stuff I went to work on this large canvas. The mouth of the Dungeness is property owned by a duck hunting club and I had to get special permission to access the site, which I did thanks to Matt the caretaker...I really appreciate him taking the time to hear me out and then graciously allow me to roam the wetlands freely..What a spot!!
