Painted the middle and foreground of Landscape 6 to get it all roughed in and get rid of the white. It will take a few more sessions to finish this painting.

Worked on all of the middle and foreground of Landscape 7 and did a little work on the clouds. I probably need to paint the middle and foreground two more times.

Worked on the linen of Still Life 3. Will probably paint the linen one more time in a couple of days before letting it dry for a week or two before glazing the linen.

Worked on the linen of Still Life 5. In January I should start finishing some paintings.
I’m creating a menu item “Finished Paintings”.

Yesterday I bought a pair of readers at CVS so I can do a little painting and reading until I get new prescription glasses. They work ok.
Worked on the gray underpainting of Still Life 3. Afterward, I put drops of oil on the blobs of paint so I will be able to use them on the other still-life paintings for the next couple of days without mixing new paint. I’ll paint the linen in this painting one or two more times, let it dry, and then cover all of the linen with a glaze of Transparent Brown Oxide which is a Winsor and Newton color. After that glaze, I’ll have to repaint the glass bottles and finish everything up.

Since October 3rd I’ve been waiting for my eyes to recover enough to start painting again. Maybe I’ll be able to paint tomorrow.
For the last 7 weeks, I’ve been using the Artificial Intelligence program MidJourney to generate reference photos.
I intend to paint the following images.

Worked on the sky near the horizon, the background, and some of the middle ground of Landscape 3.

Reworked the blue part of the sky. When it dries I’ll rework the lighter slightly greenish blue just above the mountains before finishing the mountains and foreground. I took the reference photo last year in between Ranger Creek Campground in the Bighorn Mountains and the town of Greybull, Wyoming. It’s a pretty area with some attractive ranches. There are a few cattle in the foreground of the photo which I will paint.
