It's been cold, foggy, and wet lately. Yay, California Winter is finally underway. I woke up this morning to find the hills on the far side of the ravine adrift in a sea of mist. It had a bit of the feel of this painting, though perhaps more blue-greys for the live oaks and evergreens. The rain has been making it a bit more difficult to find the chances to spray fixative layers (since I like to leave the painting outside for about half an hour after spraying to let the fumes dissipate a bit). Making progress. Perhaps it can be finished by the end of this weekend?
Beautiful textures. Love the foxes.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the pop of the orange in the foxes in this piece. So, so, lovely. Thank you for sharing your process.
ReplyDeleteYour work is sensational. I love the progress shots.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning. I find this to be so soothing to look at!
ReplyDeleteLove the depth and textures, and of course, random foxes. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. I've been an admirer of your work since I bought Catherine Asaro's fantasy trilogy, some time ago. Your art is just amazing!
I have just featured your cover for Asaro's "The Charmed Sphere" on my blog, "A Night's Dream of Books". I hope you come by and take a look.
Have a wonderful weekend!! : )
