more interested in being than improving these days
I finished this painting and I’m feeling pretty good about it. The goal was to paint 2 foot square acrylic version of the very small gouache painting I made last year (below), using only the painting as a reference rather than the original photo reference. I’ve hung it up in the house to spend some more time with it. It’s got a great presence.
Next up I’ll be trying this scene again, same size, but directly from the photo (with some new restraints). My thinking on that here.
I just love this painting. It really captures the moment, which happened after a downtown Grocer paste-up session before sunrise. I walked down to the harbor and along the lakeshore as the sun came up.

This one is painted from a photo I took off of the back porch at a good friend’s place in Logan Square. It was a beautiful night.

I just love the way this painting of a flooded field at Sayre Park turned out. This is my third daily painting.
