Behind the Easel

Something you may not know about me:
I like to work in my studio alone.  It helps me focus, especially when I’m working on a more challenging aspect of a painting.  I do have “roommates,” though, and occasionally a cat will be asleep on my lap while I paint.  These moments are short, as cats tend to change their sleeping areas throughout the day, but has become an almost daily occurrence.  So this is a photo from my vantage point behind the easel.

In Progress

I have a few photos of my current painting in progress.  With the size and background on this, it is one of my more involved pieces.  As with all of my paintings, I start off with a basic sketch onto the canvas.

Then I add a rough first layer of paint just to work everything in and then add numerous subsequent layers, building color and value as I go.
