Little by little, I’ve been chipping away at this 48″ x 72″ acrylic portrait painting that takes up almost half of my studio. I want to show you the progress on it. Here is where it was at a couple weeks ago.

Here is a video I did showing the process…
Lately, I’ve been adding a lot of detail to the people, layer after layer, using the glazing technique. That allows light to pass through the translucent layers of color, giving the painting more richness, depth and luminosity.
I’ve got a lot work to do, but I’m happy with where it is at right now!

I’m still getting things back together in my studio from exhibiting at the Falling Leaves Art Tour, over the weekend. I had a great time! Sold several prints of my paintings and picked up a few commissions. I thank God for that!
Here was my display on a wall of stacked firewood. It’s always interesting to try to hang artwork on it…:)
The best part of all were the great conversations I had and being able to stay at my friend and fellow artist Ron La Blanc’s house in Augusta, WI and just hang out. Always a blessed time. They make me feel like part of the family. 🙂
Here is a photo I snapped of their backyard. The colors are just intense at this time of year!
Fall in Wisconsin can get cold! So we had a little outdoor wood stove to keep us warm!
Ron La Blanc’s son Travis supplied the muscle power to get the wood small enough to fit in!
Here is Ron chatting with a friend (and customer) about his pottery…
I prepared a few more prints of my painting “Smoldering Wick.” I sold one of them, and several others, at the show.
But soon enough, it was over. And now we have a regular wood stack again!
It was a wonderful weekend again this year. I’m looking forward to next year…it goes by very fast! Thank you to all who came out to the tour this year. God bless you!
Have a blessed day and I’ll be in touch,
