Returning Home #2 - process
Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 7:23PM This is a large painting - a bit over five feet tall. I was commissioned to paint it based on the painting Returning Home. It was a fun painting despite a lot of ancillary problems that came up during the painting process (several days of foul weather, an artshow, and an evil bout of lower back pain from which I am just now recovering). The slideshow, of course, shows some of the painting process. The photos are in order, but as you may notice, the painting took a circuitous route to completion as I experimented with different techniques, especially in the sky and trees. Click the slideshow to get a larger view of the finished painting.

Awesome! I like the depth of the road as it draws up the canvas. it almost seemed like the sun was setting at one point. ha. i enjoy the slide show...and look forward to another video (time lapsed or not). I think it would be fun. The slide show was fun though, like playing that game as a kid with the two pictures and you have to find what is different.
just help to stretch this last night. fun process. did manage to rip the back of the canvas as i stretched so then i felt it necessary to relieve myself from the stretching and begin stapling. great picture bro. Stuart likes how it looks opposite the coys. the coys look even more vibrant in person.
