August Six

August 6

Here is a new painting in progress August 6, Shady Side, Maryland. Worked outside today. Starting point is still the architectural scroll work inspired while on a Birthday trip to with Heather to Oak Cliffs, Martha’s Vinyard, and the 19th century cottages built around the Methodist’s camp meeting tabernacle. The scroll work is conflated with the Atlantic/Chesapeake Bay. Following are stages looking back though acrylic paint and tinted gesso on raw canvas back to original charcoal drawing.
