I sat down to another quick painting today rather than working on my long term pieces. This took about three hours and was pretty challenging because the oil paint remains so wet. (Maybe I really am an acrylic painter.) I still am looking to develop a relationship with light. I feel I am drawing rather than painting - deliniating the form and edges of an object instead of utilizing paint's unique ability to convey luminosity, shadow, and highlight. I sat down again after this piece and began another short small composition that seems to be closer to this idea of capturing light. We'll see.
The photo has been tinkered with in Photoshop simply because it was too dark, but again, I think the program makes the colors a little surreal.

I like this one. I'll be checking back to see what comes next. Scott M.
Thanks for logging in and posting a comment Scott.
It was suggested that I leave a comment so you know I've been here rather than being the silent observer that I've been. Your magpie visiting the dinner table reminds me of a Monte Dolak. Ask Tyler if you haven't heard of him.
