Welcome to my painting blog. This is a record of paintings that I started January 2009. Currently my posts are slow and I hope to post about 3-4 paintings a week in the future. About this Painting
Title: Lake View
Size:6"x6"
acrylic on wood
$75.
The nice thing about working on wood is being able to start with a very smooth surface. A great deal of my work is on canvas and before I begin a painting I always smooth certain areas of surface of the canvas using multiple layers of paint.
This particular painting ended up much more detailed than I had originally planned because I got caught up in the pleasure of creating the texture of the chair and grass. In the future I am hoping to be looser with my strokes so that I am able to create more finished pieces in a weeks time. I really enjoy the freedom of working quickly and remembering the feeling of the moment.
