 Wished to share the stages of the painting... the process

 
 Stages of the painting / process
 
 
 Stages of the painting / process (starting to build up the foundations of the sky)
 
 Stages of the painting / process
 
 
 Stages of the painting / process (measuring out the horizontal elements / balance)
 
 Stages of the painting / process
make a mess... keep it open and free
details comes out of chaos and form
 
 
 Stages of the painting / process
starting to define spaces
 
 
 Stages of the painting / process
building out the structure of the painting
 
 
 Stages of the painting / process
 
 
Stages of the painting / process
starting to add colour
 

Stages of the painting / process
 

 finished work. once the structure and form is all done
the details all fall into place.

Hey Patrick, It has been amazing watching the progress as you and Patrick Greene painted through the days of March. I thought of you often being out in the elements for the Love of Art and it still amazes me on your coping methods. Whether it be cold rain falling on the canvas or snow whiffing across your face, you took stance at your unsheltered area. Must have been mind over matter to have conquered March's well know calm to cruel weather. Congrats on this accomplishment. Marlita
