Hello!

Usually when I want to start a new painting to follow, I show the photograph I am using as reference. This time, I thought it would be fun to see the initial sketch. This piece is 12" wide and 36" tall. It is inspired by the trip I took to Conkles Hollow in the fall. I find white canvas a bit distracting, so I painted the entire canvas this light blue. Then I sketched the scene with a darker blue paint. Next, I will start the under painting in oil. More soon!

Until next time...
