Another three hour session of painting has brought us to this juncture. I really enjoy watching a picture like this one as it progresses. It begins to take on a life of it's own as the pigments and strokes accumulate. I'm using a full sheet (8 1/2" x 11") paper print of the photo I took a few weeks back on a walk along Warm Springs Road near Kenwood, California as my reference.

A few more hours of painting today have advanced the image of Sonoma Creek that I started a couple of days ago. I like where this one is going.

Another two hour painting session has brought it to this state. As I fill in the blank spaces with color, the various elements start becoming identifiable. Wood, Rock, Leaf, Water...
I began doing a new painting yesterday of Sonoma Creek just off Warm Springs Road near Kenwood. This is the results of the first two hour session of painting. The canvas is a 24" x 36" that I built myself.
Well... I finally finished the large canvas I have been working on again for a few weeks now.
Title: 'Sonoma Mountain #5' - oil on canvas - 34" x 52" - 2011/2012
price - $6,500.

Well ...I should probably have taken a photo sooner as I've been working on this painting (Sonoma Mountain #5) again for a few days now. It started last year and then got shelved while I worked as much as I was able to on some portrait commissions that came in. However, I have listed it as one of my entrees to the Marin County Fair and they must all be delivered this Friday afternoon to the fairgrounds. So I'm burning the midnight oil to try to get it finished in time to be dry enough to take. Akua has the plan. I just need to keep on slingin' paint!
Mahalo nui loa for visiting my blog. Have a great day!
Aloha, Timo
I was back to painting on "Waialua Stream #1" today...Subtle changes, but apparent when you get a bit closer to the actual painting. Details mostly and slight changes in hues here and there. I added quite a bit more detail to the Cattle Egret so that it would hold up to a somewhat closer inspection. Maui became slightly larger and more distinct. More glints of reflected lights in the grasses suggesting moisture...Perhaps the recent passing of a gentle "Ua".
I think I'm going to call it done again and move on to another project that requires my attention.
Mahalo for your interest.
Aloha, Timo
Aloha Ohana, Added a pair of Nene Geese and a Cattle Egret to Waialua Stream #1 and now I think I'm going to work on the sky and the rainbow some more. Check in later for another update on this painting.
Mahalo for stopping by my blog. Aloha, Timo
