Grey Sunday and back to the studio – work in progress

Beginnings – the studio has some heat and the fumes from last week’s 1st floor sealant have dissipated. (I’m on the 3rd floor and the fumes drove me out in an hour) Time for studio mode and fresh flowers. I did spend a bit of time filling a trash bag – Open Studios will be in December!

 

And now for something completely different . . .

Sunday morning is predicted to be warm and wonderfully autumnal and yet, I won’t be out painting. Wish me luck!

But I finished this Thursday night . . .

Nearly there – wip

Just some details needed (or not?) to complete this piece. Crazy how fast the light moves in the early evening. Oil on linen 11×14 inches.

Boston from Hayden Library – wip

I’m working just between MIT’s Hayden Library and the river. This 11×14 oil paint on linen is slowly progressing, I need a few early evenings with the right amount of sunset. It’s been too cloudy or rainy but this coming weekend is looking good.

Again . . . really? I don’t normally paint this way. Charles River Basin

CharlesBasin.wip.6 Another gorgeous summer morning, spent overlooking the Charles River.I think one more visit to finally resolve the guard rails and then to the studio to add a composite element – some classical? runners? This is 20×24 inch linen canvas. Yesterday I spent time in the studio . . .

Again, back to the Longfellow Bridge. (with a better shot)

Trying to suggested while avoiding the finickiness of guardrails has meant return visits to my spot overlooking the Charles. I’m not bored yet, but the painting’s not resolved yet. Now how do I paint the cars?  a runner or three perhaps? They just don’t pose!
