Another painting session has brought London's Autumn Vineyard to this juncture. Much more to come on this piece...Stay tuned for all the changes that will bring this painting to the finish line!
Mahalo for stopping by,
Timo
I started a new painting on a 16" x 32" canvas of my own construction of an Autumn vineyard scene with the morning mist still hanging in the ravines from a photo that my friend London took. Much more to follow this posting...
Mahalo for seeing what's up.
Aloha, Timo
I painted this manufactured 18" x 24"canvas panel from a photo that my friend Rick had taken sometime before we arrived, of the gorgeous view looking down through the Kalalau Valley to the Pacific Ocean. I did it in a direct ala prima plein air style even though my reference was a photoprint. I did this painting in about 5 hours.
Doing a plein air portrait of my friend Rick's cabin at Kokee, Kauai. and the results.
This medium sized canvas (16" x 24") that I built myself was the support for an oil portrait of my friend Jeff's little (850 sq.ft.) stone French farmhouse on Sonoma Mountain near Glen Ellen, California. The first of three elevations he's having me do for him. The detail in this kind of architectural portrait requires many hours of painting to accomplish. I always work to satisfy myself as well as the client in every detail of a finished work.
Mahalo for checking in.

I know... I haven't made a blog entry for well over a month, but I'll try to catch up a bit on at least the ART part of my life since my last blog-in. Beginning with this commissioned seascape that I just finished about a week ago. It was a lager version of an old painting that was done in the '90s when I was living in Jenner. The original work only had one shorebird, but the client wanted me to add three more because they have four children. We also changed the colorscheme slightly for this larger (28" x 40") piece using a photo of another painting that was already hanging in the room where it was to be hung for reference. We are all very satisfied with the new version.
Mahalo for stopping in today.
Aloha, Timo
I thought the large (24" x 36") oil portrait of the Golden Retriever "Bumper" was finished, but I had to go back in with the direction of the dog's owner to effect a few changes. So...anyway after another 3 hour session with him and the painting...It's finally done to his satisfaction (and mine).
Mahalo & Aloha, Timo
