Another Gestural Landscape Oil...Flooded Timbers... 10"x 20" on linen

Used left over paint from my last paint session, added a bit of color and pigment to have a generous pile of warmer brown.  Using copal and turps...painted over the linen...then used a rag to wipe out negative space and suggestion of trees...

The linen is taped to an art foam core board, about two inches extra around and later I'll either stretch this to stretcher frames, or glue to hardboard...

Then...took breaks helping a student at the potter's wheel..hopping back and forth to my easel...and quickly painted in the beginning of flooded timbers and winter dead early spring grasses...
 

Intentions will be to bring one area of the painting to a very realistic finishing and allow outter regions to trail off into gestural la-la land...
