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!!48x24 oil on stretched canvas sold

This is stunning! Love the nuances in the water, the choice of palette, and grasses are my favourite thing ever.

Hi Elizabeth! I love grasses too!
Hi Marian! I did a lot of studys and a large value map before i got started on this one!
Thanks Skizo!
I'll leave another WOW for you! The colors are gorgeous and I love the detail of the birds against the more impressionistic rendering of the water and grasses. A real winner!
