Bryant Woods Dogwalk
For those of you who might wonder where I have gone, or why I stopped posting (I tend to post a painting on Instagram, where my images are tossed into the pile with all the other paintings out there), here are some recent examples of smaller paintings I have done this year. I paint now with less regularity, though I do find that when I pick up the brush I have more confidence than in the earlier years (thank god all that effort wasn't for nothing!) and I do tend to see small advances in certain aspects. Edges and brushwork continue to be my weakness, but I focus more on value and color temperature, trying to get the "feeling" of the scene more quickly. Sometimes it seems like that is enough to have the effect I intend.
