18x24-Unframedtoday was bloody hot and humid. heat index probably close to 100.
i found a little trick on this one. i scrubbed on some walnut oil and thinner on the gessoed canvas before starting and that made the paint glide around early on like i wanted. then i went without medium once i had it blocked in "cape cod" style.
i like how this one came out. has that dogday august look to it!
The "S" curve in the marsh really makes this painting. I can almost smell the marsh mud when I'm looking at it. Really nice...
