The Lastest Painting...
Strange As It Seems (us 28) oil on panel 3 x 19” $4,000 2018 JB Boyd
The First Layer...
...is done, and now I get to stare at this one for a while (and go find some post sunset twilights to stare at while I’m at it) to decide where I want this painting to go in the next layer.
The Colors...
...for my second layer on this painting are spread out on the palatte below the easel. To the left with a brush for each color are the water tones, while the ice flows get one brush for every three shades on the right.
A Medium Sunset...
...is in progress on my easel. Thanks @whisperingpinestoo for the photo reference!
My Panel Making Room...
...got a lighting upgrade. Thanks 1 Broad dumpster! And if you ever wondered what a years supply of painting panels looks like for me, wonder no more.

...watching the grass grow, in one inch strips, from top to bottom and left to right. But seeing the difference from the first layer to the second makes me realize how fun this painting will be when done.
Back To The Big Marsh...
