Yesterday was a day of uninterrupted studio time, and I was able to work on this piece…..a 30″X40″ acrylic/colored pencil painting. I have been documenting (loosely) the evolution of this piece on one of my “PAINTINGS” pages. This is a “follow the painting” painting. I begin with a general idea, and then keep adding, subtracting, adjusting. My initial idea is now only a memory, as the painting has led me in a different direction. This is the exciting part of the process…..I really don’t know what the final result will be, or when it will be completed. (Hopefully before the show I am preparing it for, which is in November)
This is where I stopped yesterday (it was time to relax by the river and enjoy a glass of wine.)

I’m intrigued by your apparent decision to paint the foreground trees first and then paint the background in between afterwards.

I am hooked on negative painting, so I frequently end up painting the spaces between/around objects rather the the objects themselves. I have been doing this for many years and still haven’t gotten over the fascination with that approach.
