It's not much, but in reality I haven't done much in the way of painting since I hung my show the first week of July. I've been chomping at the bit the last couple of days to get some time in my studio, easier said than done, and then this heat... OMG the heat and the humidity are horrific right now.
This is 5x7 inch canvas painted with oil paints.
Cottonwoods. Oil paint & Cold wax. 5 x 8 inches on canvas paper.
I’ve been experimenting this past week with water mixable oil paints and cold wax. Not sure what I think about this medium, yet, other than working small is not working for me so it’s time to set up the easel.
This painting evolved from memories of the cottonwood stand at my favorite marsh, Bjorkboda, in Hamilton County, Iowa. I was there last month and many of the trees have now fallen over and only a few remain. I need to go back and take some photos to share and soon.
