Trying to capture some of the ocean’s movement in this first layer. 11” oil on linen panel. WIP.

I’ve been obsessed with nocturnes for years now. There’s something about nighttime I just connect with and feel true peace. All oils.

10 1/2” oil on panel, mounted in a porthole! I had a recent post go kinda wild, and this is the only completed one I have currently!

All oil paintings. Most are from the past few years as I had a bit of a run of these porthole paintings. I may get back to painting these again soon!

I think I can call this little forest last light painting done. Some details here and there this morning. 11x14” oil on linen.

Varnishing my oil painting. The most satisfying part of the process.

WIP. A bit more work on this snowy landscape this morning. Trying to get that sense of depth and a bit of crunchy texture on the path. 12x16” oil on linen.

Early morning session trying to get that cold snowy atmosphere to come through in this landscape. I think this first layer is done. WIP. Oil on 12x16” linen panel.

Early morning underpainting session. In honor of it not being 100° in NC currently, I’m painting snow ❄️. 12x16” oil on linen. WIP.

4am session to finish this one off this morning. 12x24” oil on linen.

I got up at 4am and got this huge first layer knocked out. WIP. 24x60” oil on custom linen panel.

Original photo reference being loosely followed is by Neil Burnell. I expanded the scene and changed the atmosphere.

Capturing this craggily old forests shapes and values quickly and loosely during this huge underpainting. This is my favorite stage. 24x60” oil on custom linen panel.
