| "Skagit Clouds" 24x30 oil on canvas $2500 Available through the Scott Milo Gallery, Anacortes, WA 360-293-6938 |
This larger landscape painting was an experiment. I have been working in my own studio at home recently. A much smaller space than I am used to and the fumes from oil painting are more concentrated. Especially during the first stages of a painting where I use a lot of turp to "wash" the surface of the canvas with transparent color. On this landscape I started with acrylic paint in the manner I used to start a lot of watercolor paintings by layering very thin washes of color. First Azo Yellow, then Alizerin then Cerulean Blue. After that I went in with saturated color and mostly finished the painting in acrylic. After letting it dry I went back in with oil paint, softening edges, adjusting color and adding texture leaving some of the acrylic passages. I like the way it turned out and saved time and toxicity at the start of the process.
You can see this painting and many others at the Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes where I will be showing new work with other artists in a group show opening June 6th. For more info check the website HERE
