Hello again painting fans.
This week I will be continuing with the Cold Spring, NY scene. The photo that I’m using is seen directly below. I’ll be using my usual acrylic paints on a 5×7 inch canvas.
When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.
Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.
I have continued to add prelimary layers of paint to the various elements of the painting. The house now has lit and shaded surfaces. A second layer of paint has been added to the sky. Next week I’ll have something a bit more opaque than these early splashes of paint.
The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
I’ll have more progress to show you next week. See you then.
Earlier paintings in this series can be seen here.
Open it is.
And here I be.
Near 70 here in the Hudson Valley, during the warmest February on record.
It’s been practically summer-like where we live. Got one snowfall and that was it. Flowers started blooming a couple weeks ago – way early for us. Usually don’t bother with lawn mowing until late March at the earliest. May have to rethink that. But at least the heating bill won’t be so bad. I’m just worried about the electric bill if we have to turn the A/C on ahead of schedule. Could be an expensive summer.
Much the same here in southern Indiana, but its predicted to cool off a bit by the end of this week. Guess we’ll see when it arrives.
Our cool off should start tomorrow. All that will do is get us back to seasonal. Not sure that will last particularly long. Technically a freeze should still be possible for another couple weeks. Guessing that won’t be in the cards.
