Sólfar

Sólfar
8X10, Oil on Panel

The Sólfar sculpture in Reykjavík.  I started this one many months ago and it languished on the floor of my studio.  I really thought it was a bust but one day as I looked at it, I saw some promise I had not seen in a while.  Then a few days ago I saw where some color changes would fit well and possibly make it come alive.  There is a lot more detail work here than I am used to using!

Another plein air, this time with no studio edits, from the richest vein of local plein air subject matter I have yet found.  Hopefully I'll get back out there before the end of the year.

Further Still

An artist I know from Finland kindly provided me with this view of the area around her family's home taken a couple of weeks ago.  In turn, I provided her with a contemporary photo of a small lake near the Arkansas River (having much less snow and more leaves on trees!) for her to paint from.

This might be the only snow I get to paint this year given the crazy warm temperatures we keep having!

More studio finished plein air work from Camp Robinson WMA in Faulkner County Arkansas.  I'm really getting a lot of mileage there.  This one was cut short by rain but the foundation was solid.

This is a plein air I started at the Camp Robinson Wildlife Management Area near Mayflower way back in the March timeframe I think.  I finished it in studio with oils and have finally decided to post it!
