A few updates

The gears are complete and the spheres painting just needs a few more tweaks.

Almost.....

Just a few more gear teeth and its done.

Long night

Several hours of work, coffee and two noodle cups.

Gears

Started blocking in the darks.

Nearing completion

I'm about 12 hours from finishing this painting, then onto the gears!

Painting the tree

Done!

Reclaimed canvas, renewed life

This is a reclaimed canvas (old canvas with an unwanted painting) it has been prepared with an oil ground and allowed to dry. A paint pen was needed to sketch out the rough shapes.

All of the old masters reclaimed canvases, sometimes several times. X-rays will reveal the under painting. What the painting is will remain a secret until then.

Productive evening.

Two pots of coffee and a simple composition allowed me to be crazy productive.

Progress

I've mostly completed the narrow conference room painting, simply setting it aside to come at it with some fresh eyes. In the meantime, I'm doubling up and working on two additional paintings. These are more simple in composition and shouldn't take long to complete.

Almost done!!!

Glazing.

Done!

Finished! Spent more time on it than I anticipated, but it looks gorgeous!
