In the Studio February 3, 2013

Here's a day in the studio.  I'm finishing up a 48 x 72 inch commission.  On the top left is an oil finished today, "Illuminated Autumn" (photo below) and on the floor is a framed giclee "Bright Flow." It's been a very busy and happy time in the studio lately.

Illuminated Autumn  oil on canvas 30 x 40 inches

Colorful Slope  oil on canvas 36 x 48 inches

I began with the smaller Illuminated Autumn and after two sessions in the studio, started on the larger Colorful Slope.  It didn't take long for the larger oil to take a different direction than I had originally intended. It was very pleasurable to finish the larger oil and then return to the original concept of the smaller work. Both paintings fed each other, each creating better works than I had anticipated.
