Buckstaff Baths
11X14, Oil on Canvas
If there's one place in Arkansas that is commonly known about outside the state, it would have to be Hot Springs. There are lots of great locations in Spa City for paintings. The Ozark Bathhouse is actually one of my favorites but the best composition I had in a photo was of Buckstaff.This one's been on my easel for a while. In the end I had to get some critiques from fellow artists over at ArtistDaily.com to help me figure out how to put the finishing touches on it.
Last night I did a small still life. A little over a year ago, I started doing some still lifes and I noticed a remarkable improvement in my landscapes shortly thereafter. I was pretty pleased with the results of the one I did last night. It sure was nice to feel like I had some idea of what I was doing again. It was definitely a fun little piece and fun has been missing in my landscapes lately. I'll show that still life tomorrow night.
I've decided I'll definitely do the plein air event in Little Rock this weekend but I dont plan on doing any complete compositions. Instead, I'll concentrate on studies, possibly in grisaille only.
