Painting: Barn Study I

I've been experimenting in the studio with incorporating my process onto the canvas. For example, several pieecs (including Evolution of a Magpie) have their pallets right on the painting. This barn study, based on an old farm nearby, includes all of the extra brush strokes I used to clean my brush. Usually, these extra brush strokes and paint are either off the canvas, or covered up! I think these abstract strokes, alongside the representational barn, are an interesting and dynamic combination. But these "process pieces" have only just begun, with many more underway...

Recent Studies - Oil Paintings

Cashing in on the classical influences, starting to incorporate more 'washes' and abstractions. Also spending time on more studies, the importance of which I always undervalue and make fun of.
