WINTERLIGHT - Work in Progress - the Middle Tones

WINTERLIGHT - Work in Progress  (Middle Tones) - 22"x28" Original Oil on Belgian Linen - If at any phase of the painting I begin to get excited, this is it - I see the end in sight, the possibilities.  This phase is the transition from the darks to the lights.  Am using more opaque paints and "scumble" them on top of the darks.  This painting has been painted in my head a hundred times - ever since I saw the evening light coming across the front yard.  Stay tuned!  DC

EXPERIMENT!

Something New!  Another phase of WINTERLIGHT painting - in order to modulate light and hopefully give it that "last moment before sunset feeling" have used a transparent Payne's Grey glaze thinned with fast drying painting medium.
