Summer’s End – 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood
Working a little more on the greens in the foreground. I think I need to see some more of the orange and lavender plants though. And some more of the lake. And I want to get back to the dark side too. (I hear they have cookies.) And then there’s all the trees way back in the cheap seats. And the sky.
It’s such a large painting for me; it’s a challenge to hold it all together in my head – I’m in a hurry to see it on the panel! I know I have sketches of it but it’s not the same. Once the painting hits the panel the sketches are nearly obsolete. Unless I get stuck. And I’m not feeling stuck. It’s just pouring onto the panel. I guess that’s what can happen when you have something in your head for so long.
