@Brandi_Buchman Chasing Sage or Sorghum and Salt. Two small plate, farm to table table restaurants that are a little under the radar but truly unique and delicious.

I don’t know what the plant is that creates the field of red in the center, but it sure is pleasing to paint. I’ll get one more try as this is the first layer of this little 3x12” painting.

The first layer is done, now onto the second!

This little painting is coming along nicely. Four by sixteen inches is a good space to paint in, and I’m enjoying all the fog of late as I paint this place.

From humble beginnings, my next painting is up on the easel. This will be fog shrouded spartina, with the wrack line of last seasons spartina swirling in the foreground.

I’m always painting, not always painting the same painting. This one I started at the beginning of 2019, but have only worked on it in an on again, off again fashion. Finishing soon...

I love when my wonderful wife tells me there is a place I need to see; the results are often future paintings.

Sometimes I forget things, like finishing a painting once it has been painted. But with a glaze, a varnish, and a frame repaint, this one is done, done, done! Come drop by RLS to check it out, and this Friday night from 5-8pm will be opening night for our 15th anniversary show!!!

I’m so close to finishing this painting...

Making the turn on this painting, I’m sanding it smooth for the second layer of paint. From here it becomes glass-like, which is perfect for focusing on the details. Finally, the palette is set with a wider range of color to capture the water. #greyisacolortoo #ontheeaseltoday

The first layer of paint is finished, and now the fun part begins: focusing in on the details to make this painting really sing.

“Concentric circles referencing Jasper Johns, Kenneth Nolland...” said Carl Belz. He wasn’t talking about my painting, but giving a monologue on the packaging of LS cigarettes. It was one of those little lectures on art in the everyday that stuck, as 20yrs later it inspired this:

The new painting in its humble beginnings. Seven colors so far in this spare palette will make two feet by two feet of swirling water.

The second layer of paint is going down, which means brighter mid-tones will lighten the sky and hopefully make it much deeper.

Sanding down the long skinny painting to get it ready for the next layer of paint.
