        These are about 11×14 on hardboard.
        Acrylic under-painting.
        The first has a black notan under-painting in black acrylic.

            Outstanding work, as usual, Derek.
            All are museum quality but the middle one tells a story that resonates eloquently with me.

            Great work! The faded paint, mossy siding is amazing. Love the way you handle leaves, loose and still crisp sure strokes.

            It is a joy to go quickly from the dry underpainting to subsequent layers with out worrying about mud?

            The black really adds drama to these.

            Beautiful work but that seems to be your standard.

                Fantastic work.

                All three are fabulous as usual, the masters touch … but I do like the 2nd one the most.

                            Is it wrong of me to stalk the oil painting forum waiting for you to post your latest work? Lol

                            I admire your paintings greatly Derek. They’re always such a treat.

                                Great stuff (as usual!) Classic Dcam compositions, I think.
                                I remember your post on the notan concept. The tree picture shows us what it can achieve.
                                One of the things which strikes me about these is the convincing rendering of the grass! It has volume and a real grassy texture which you don’t so often see in paintings.

                                        Incredible stuff, Derek! How often do you use the black underpainting when you work? I love all of your paintings, but these have a subtle hint of extra depth to them that I’m particularly fond of.

                                            apart from the individual merits, it’s quite an experience seeing them together like this. your light speaks volumes, always. i’m also fond of the second, the composition works wonders, good to study. thank you!

                                                Beautiful as always. Really fine work. One of these days I’d like to see your paintings in person. Where do you show your work?

                                                    Wow! All three are good But the second painting deserves a special mention…It is outstanding. The composition is spot on !
