Dawn at Misery Bay

Another daily painting - 6x8" - Oil on archival panel
With the small landscapes I find that I'm drawing less before I start painting. The only drawing on this one was the horizon line. Once that was decided, the rest was just massing in the colors which served quite well as a substitute for drawing in all the shapes.

Lakeside Sunrise by Kirk Witmer

Inspiration ripped from a magazine and made it my own. Have quite a few of these small landscapes planned, after having seen a traveling exhibit of the Hudson River School artists.

Marina Beach - WIP

24" x 30"  Oil on canvas 

---

You may remember seeing the the 8x10 study that I did last week for this piece. So here's the first day's progress on the larger version. This underpainting should provide a good base on which to do the glazing that will provide the glow found in Vivek's photo of an early moring sky. Spent somewhere between five and six hours on it today. I'm tired and "my dogs are barkin". Tomorrow's another day.
