| Brough of Birsay Shadows 6x8 oil |
As you may recall, I partly funded my June Scotland trip by pre-selling a series of 6x8 oil paintings. I am happy to announce that the series is now complete! I really enjoyed painting these, as it put me back in the mood to start thinking about planning another trip.
You'd think it'd be hard to get into a Scottish mood, now that I'm back in New Mexico. But the memory is quite fresh, and to help me, I had my journal of gouache sketches and my written journal, not to mention thousands of photo references. Going over all this material was a real pleasure.
By the way, these were all painted with a small painting knife and Gamblin Artists Color oils. After choosing the scene and penciling it in with a #2 pencil on Gessobord, I did block in the painting with a brush, but once the color was laid in, I used a knife to apply the next layers and to finish.
I'm now offering these paintings to my patrons who supported me on the trip. Once they are done selecting, if I have any left over, I'll make them available to others who might be interested. If so, I'll make the announcement here.
