I've been meaning to paint this for a long time, over a year! And I really enjoyed the different subject matter, it was especially fun to paint that large blue sky.
Couldn't resist this, I loved how these guys were lit from behind with their shadows falling in front of them. I didn't even care that they were so confused at why I was snapping photos in their direction.
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.
