New figure painting, Soft Light

This one is acrylic, 9x12 onboard. Working with soft lights and tones.

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.

Latest progress

The next phase on the Tiare 24x30 painting. Adding more glazing for color and details in areas such as the shell necklace.

Tiare, the painting so far .....

A few shots showing the steps on my latest painting, Tiare 24x30.

I started with a mono base painting, taking everything to a fairly finished level.

The rest is thin transparent glazes, building up color slowly. Not yet finish but getting there.

Fire Goddess

Mystic Forest series continues.

Mystic Forest series

Mystic forest series continues. I am working on a series of these starting with digital to get a sense of the concepts and themes. Then on to creating some of these in oils which should be a real challenge.

I worked with Tiare Tashnick on these. We are both fans of JW Waterhouse and I have always wanted to do some of that style of art so this was a great fit. I have some wonderful source material to work with now : )

Ravenwood

Something a little different, Ravenwood. Digital collage from many many photos of mine.
