Magic Hour, progress
August 3, 2008
Magic Hour detail image, top half of 60 x 40 x 3 inches Acrylics on canvas. I decided not to lighten the background after all — am leaving the background as is with loose brushwork in contrast to the totem pole which will be much clearer. To achieve the weathered look I’m using a dishwashing scratch pad to remove some of the paint. Work in progress.

Well Nikki, I just read it’s a work in progress, so let’s just say I like seeing the changes as you paint along. Chris

Hey Chris, you’re almost right, because it’s almost finished!

Hi Nina, thanks. This is certainly one of Emily’s main study subjects, and I love trees as she did too. Maybe it’s the essence of these things that comes through no matter who paints them? * I put Nina’s link in my list for anyone who wants to see her unique paintings of trees.
