Two studies for my New Landscape Paintings, both conte crayon or chalk pastel. Note the subtle white-on-white smokiness. Been thinking about doing a snow series, but haven’t seen much around recently.
Not sure if I’ll follow up on the mower, but the finished painting of the man with blower is in my gallery here.
What better way to spend a sunny spring afternoon? These are the results of my first couple weeks hamming it up on the cold-pressed.
My Landscape Series continues. Had some trouble with the beauty bark and the funny angle of the guy’s foot. Still haven’t finished the foot in the fourth picture here, but worry not: I eventually worked it out. One of these days I’ll get around to posting a pic of it with my other finished works.
More from my living, blowing Landscape Series.
“A ‘serious’ historical and critical consideration has to count landscape painting […] as among the passé or recherché genres, if only because the issue now, or at least after minimalism, is whether or not painting itself is dead.” — James Elkins
