Today’s work

May 9, 2008

                  Maple Leaves, details after a few more hours working today - 48 x 84 x 3 inches Acrylics on stretched canvas.

Maple Leaves, details after a few more hours working today - 48 x 84 x 3 inches Acrylics on stretched canvas. Changes may be subtle from here on; time to set it against a wall and study for a while before adding more. It’s a good time to start another painting.

    Nikki,
    This is so freakin gorgeous. The light coming through, the style of the image, it’s vibrant.

    “Freakin” huh? Thanks so much Chris! I’m about to go in and work more on this painting; I feel it needs more of a story. Hopefully the style stays fresh. I won’t touch the style much by getting picky with details - it’s more of a drama with light playing amongst the leaves that I’ll be looking for.
