Category: FINISHED PAINTINGS

This morning I finished and signed Landscape 4. I like this quite a bit. I don’t name paintings. If I did UFO Clouds would be a good name.

It seems that when I glue a piece of canvas to a Blick MDF panel mounted on a cradle it causes the mounted panel to warp. So for larger paintings, over 12 x 9, I’m going back to the old reliable canvas mounted to stretcher strips. Today there is a large selection of stretcher strips. There are standard, medium-duty, and heavy-duty, and there are different brands. There are also aluminum stretcher strips.

This morning I finished and signed Landscape 8, not to say I won’t do some touching up when the correct colors are mixed for something else. A frame will help this little painting.

This morning I finished and signed Landscape 6. I’m sure I’ll put a few dots of paint on it before I oil it out. I like the landscapes with the crazy clouds I’ve been finishing but I get the feeling others don’t share my enthusiasm. I’m going to paint more of them along with still-life paintings, and paintings of clear, rocky streams. Eventually, I imagine I’ll settle on a predominant style and subject matter/s.

Today I finished and signed Landscape 7. I’m happy with it.
