New England Landscape - NA
New England Landscape
Oil on Canvas Board, 10" x 12'
Gifted.
Isn't this one a beauty? I really like it. Perhaps because I had to go so slowly on it today, which made me careful but not tight. This is the landscape I am using for our demo in Lesson 4 of the class I'm teaching starting next week. So I had to stop along the way and think about what I was doing and take lots of step-by-step photos of the progress.
If there is one sure way to organize and articulate the mishmash of stuff you learn about a subject as you go along, it's to teach it. I am learning so much by organizing what I know, and sort of untangling it in order to teach it. It's a good thing.
Yes, it really is beautiful. I wish I could take your class but I'm too far away!
