I began paintingthe 5th of the Sonoma Mountain Autumn series that started with a very small (6"x 7") painting on an oakwood panel in May or June. Then 2 more slightly larger happened in rapid succession not very long after the first one. About 2 months ago I finished a fourth in the series that was larger still, but retained somewhat the freshness of the first small things that were all done fairly quickly. The last one measured 26"x 38" it was #4 in the series and like #1 it sold within days of it's completion.
This new canvas measures 38"x 52". The photos were taken after the first session of painting. It's mostly what I call underpainting. Colors that will alter & enhance the next layers that will follow. It also seals the canvas a bit so it's not quite so thirsty.
