Here is the last in the series of commissions I painted and hopefully these three will satisfy the buyer. They were lots of fun to paint and I learned a lot from working in a larger format. Freer brushwork, easier edges and just more room to maneuver makes for a more interesting painting. But then there is the pesky little problem of what do you do with this size piece until the museum calls, yeah I wish.
24×30 oil on canvas “The other side of 601”

This painting is really great. I like it a lot. Thank you for showing it. I’m looking forward to read some of your watercolor lessons. Have you posted anyone?, perhaps in your blog?. Respectfully Mercedes
this series is wonderful- your lights glow and the variety of your edges lend them a vibrancy- you are transferring to the studio work what you are doing plein air which isn’t always easy-are you working from photos-sketches-or a combination? keep up the great work!
This is one of the nicest landscapes you’ve done in oil, Steve. Love the cows, the buildings, and the background! If this painting needs a temporary home, (while you wait for that museum call). I’m sure I could find a spare wall for it 🙂
