I really want to become comfortable with oils so I have set a goal of 1 painting a day plus the other painting I do. I know that my up coming workshop in Spain will affect this goal but when I get back we will be on to 50 Figures in 50 Days and an oil painting a day. How much fun that will be. Not much time for TV but I can live without that. 
“Evening Shade” 11x 14 Oil on archival panel. Not a very original idea and I am sure I was affected by something I had seen recently in a gallery or magazine. I apologize to that person but if I find where I saw it I will definitely call out the name. Of course I am doing it from memory so, it really is my composition.
” Glen Cove, Morning Light” 11 x 14 oil on archival panel. I like the mood of this but I still have a few value issues, it was a 1 hour study and in that I am pretty happy but I need to get a better handle on interpreting the lights and darks.
Are you teaching oils yet?
What is an archival panel.? This is lovely work. Thank you so much for the shares.
archival panels are solid core mounting panels with canvas attached to it. It is sealed in a way to keep moisture out which makes it archival. Commercial makers like Fredrix and Criterion make them and so do the smaller places like Sourcetek and Raymar. I hope that helps.
