Out for a Walk

I don't know how instructive this work-in-progress picture is, since there was no special wet into wet or under-painting involved. However, since the painting took a couple of sessions, I wanted to share it. I liked the initial sketch but forgot to take a picture.


The scene is a chilly mid-morning walk the day after Thanksgiving. I loved the bright colors and contrast of the photo I used for reference.

Here is the finished painting:

10" x 8" Oil on mounted canvas.
