This year I have been painting larger, in between completing the commissioned custom work. Smaller paintings do well at shows, but all my shows have been cancelled. (By “shows” I mean arts and crafts boutiques, fairs, festivals, and other assorted events.)
My idea is to build up a body of larger works so that when a local gallery decides to give me an exhibit, I will be ready.
In that vein, I recently completed a 10×30″ oil painting of Farewell Gap (in Mineral King, of course) at dusk. As you look at the progression, remember that things always look better in person (other than the model-type news babes on teevee, because No One could possibly look That Perfect.)
I photographed it while still wet on the easel, and then tried to duplicate the color on Photoshop Junior. It isn’t right, but it’ll do for now.

Hi Jana! This is probably sacriligious, but I loved the first phase of your painting. Looked like watercolors. I loved it. Just sayin’. LOL!!!
Melissa, I agree – it did photograph beautifully, like a transparent, flowing, and artificially enhanced watercolor. Thanks!
