Aside from a few paintings I did last year, one of these should be my first finished painting on a regular sized canvas. Been working on several paintings for many months now, though been working more on these the last few months (when time allows!)

Here is where I currently am on my oil version of the landscape from imagination that I started a couple months ago.
Kind of in the middle of this step, but after I get done with placing all my values for each area done, I am going to glaze some areas of dark and retouch some highlights to really push things. Light for these photos is a bit bad, but it’s all I can do right now, I need a second lamp to position on the other side to balance the light out (and some diffusers to reduce the glare).
As for what’s on the rest of my easel. . .
I also have a few pieces hanging behind me that are being worked on at the same time as these. It allows me to drop color on anything that I feel needs a bit of work. Many many pieces going all at once is the best way for me to work I find.

Hmmm… nice approach Delo. Never thought of that. Great paintings you have in the works.
May 3, 2018 at 4:21 am #615502Yes, seems a nice way to don’t get bored with a unique piece. I usually have 2 at the same time, but I have to try Delofasht approach!

I think it’s time to leave it alone for a month, scrape the impastos off after that and glaze some of the areas then touch details again. Or possibly just sign, mount, and sell it. Decisions, decisions. /shrug. Happy with it, turned out the way I wanted mostly, ready to move on. I really should’ve grabbed an actual reference for the background instead of just making it up.

the owl is very beautiful!
had a fleeting thought on the branches to the right, near neck. the only thing that might add to this painting is creating atmospheric depth on those branches crossing the sky blue. a little less contrast, a little more blur but only near the bird.
i love the light you’ve painted, shaping the body. it’s really ready to sell already.C&C welcome
May 4, 2018 at 11:01 am #615551These landscapes are lovely Michael. Peaceful.
Thank you very much.
Someday everything is going to be different,when I paint my masterpiece.
Bob Dylan.May 4, 2018 at 11:05 am #615533Beautiful work everyone! I subscribed to this thread, but am not getting email alerts that anyone has posted anything.:confused:
Tayete, I love your doors! I would love to do a series like that, have painted a few, but lack subject matter!
