Reworked all of Landscape 2 the last couple of days. I’ll rework it one more time and then finish off the details. This should be finished in a couple of weeks because of the drying time between painting sessions, a week between each session.
I think I will finish five or six paintings in January.
These two will be the next two paintings I will begin maybe by the end of the month. One will be 16 x 20 and one will be 20 x 16.
The captions of the two paintings are the command I gave the MidJourney AI program. It took a couple of weeks to narrow the images down to these two images and a handful of others. You give it a command with whatever parameters and it produces four images. Then you can vary any or all of the four images in a few different ways and you get four different images for each one. I did this many, many times. The command in the captions was the original command. I’ve wanted to do oil paintings of closeups of clear, rocky streams for a while. It won’t be easy. I’ll paint the bottom of the stream entirely with grays. After the grays dry I’ll paint over the grays with different colors transparent glazes. That’s old-school oil painting.
