This is a 30″X40″ painting on which I am currently working. So far it is all acrylic, with just a little bit of colored pencil.
and I think it is done.
See a larger image of the completed piece on Paintings page EVENING SHADOWS.

Love this painting. I am surprised that you paint the foreground first and the background after. Seems like it would be the opposite. I am interested in your comments on this. Thanks.

Two reasons, I think. 1. Since I don’t sketch out a composition or plan much ahead, the foreground seems the most important, so that’s where I like to start, and then I fill in the background to go with it. I do, in reality, add to and subtract from the foreground as I go as well. 2. I love negative painting (painting around a shape to establish it rather than painting in a shape)
Hopefully, that makes some sense to you.

It does. Thank you. Just thought that the negative painting might be more difficult but perhaps not.

Very interesting way to paint. About how long did it take you? Seems like there would be a lot of time just thinking about what to do next. Thanks! P.S. I think I am a new fan of your artwork – the more I see the more I like!

Yes, thinking time is a big part of the process. I always work on a number of pieces at the same time, so a big one like this might take weeks to allow time to decide where to go next. I keep it out on an easel so I can see it even when I am working on other pieces, many of which also need thinking time. But then, once in a while one of them just falls together…..one step immediately following the other. It’s a mystery.

Thanks for the fast reply to my question. Neat how you can work on more than one artwork at a time.
