First painting since the birth...I'm depressingly rusty! But still probably not the worst painting that I've done, and it's good to get back to it, even for just a little bit.
I had another go at this scene on my normal painting surface...a much different outcome.
In other news, I dropped off my paintings at the Palm Loft Gallery today! The opening reception is this Saturday (August 27, 2011) 6:00-8:00 pm, I'd love to see you there! Click here for more info.
I decided to try out these linen panels. They're smoother than canvas panels, but have more texture than my usual gessobord panel (they're also more expensive). I haven't decided if I like it or not yet, I'll need to paint a few more and see what happens.
I liked the smaller version of this scene so much I knew I had to paint a larger one as well. Something about early morning sunlight is so invigorating, I think it's my favorite time of day.
