I want to paint like George Innes damn it!



One of my favorite painters is George Innes. Everybody loves Innes landscapes and so do I. But I want to paint like George Innes. Not just do the same style compositions but really paint like he did. All that tonal texture and light to make those wonderful dreamy landscapes. So every month or so I do a few small paintings to check on my progress and my need to try and paint like .... well, George Innes.

Here are two from this week both in acrylic, for now.

Hey You!

Heard it's down right cold out your way. Can you do me a favor and go out and save some oranges from the freeze for me? ; )

I just finished a nice little snow painting from a photo I took a week ago. I will try and post it soon.

Cheers, Don B

George Inness is possibly the most amazing painter in history...not surprising that you want to paint like him. Beautiful start.
