A New Painting for Abandoned Rural America

Here is one of my newer paintings for the ARA show.

Beginning the painting process in egg tempera.

Adding more color and layers in the painting.


Working clouds in the sky.


Adding shadows and more color.


An overall color wash.


Working details in the trees and softening the background.


Forming the foreground structure and some details into the house.


Working on the boards of the house.


More detail in the house and work on the clouds.


Creating realistic colors in the foreground.


Now I’m down to the finer details in the house and the entrance to the property.


The final painting with a bird in the sky, red tail hawk maybe?

As usual your art is about as good as it gets. The new flow and looseness you've chosen here really works. Keep up the good work,
