As a glaze oil painting proceeds, there is less and less grunt work and more and more fun. By the end, the brush is dancing as you tweak dark/light, focal point/background, sharp/soft. colour/complement. Is this baby crowning? Only time will tell. There's too much shine to make final decisions for a week or two.
You can decide for yourself on the website's "Work in Progress."
In the meantime, Wednesday was spent doing something wild and crazy in acrylic. Marc Gagnon has been experimenting with pointillism - a method which depends on small dots to create subtle colour blocks. I had last weekend's shot of a beautiful old maple at Geneva Park so I took a run at it. It's not deathless art but it was a blast to paint. Not quite finished, but you get the idea.
No, I was not on drugs.
