Still more on Sonoma Creek...

I'm getting very close to the finish of Sonoma Creek at this stage.

More on Sonoma Creek

I'm still working on this painting of Sonoma Creek...I just took a little time off for the Holiday. So here's the current state of progress on it. It's slowly coming into focus here and there. Quite a lot more painting will be required before I can call this one done.

Patience & Persistance

       A lot of my painting experience is about patience and persistance. As I apply more and more strokes and daubs of these pigments that I mix with a mixture of various oils and solvent, I have a vision , not just of the final image I believe will result from all these actions but of the process that will inevitably bring me there if I am patient and persistant in my work.
       Many more hours of painting lie ahead to bring this somewhat complex composition of Sonoma Creek into focus.
      Mahalo for stopping by.
      Aloha, Timo

More time & paint...

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.
