1222 Cohorts, Montreal Street Scene, 4x4

sold

I'm testing out a new medium and did this quick study in a gem sized format.

Cafe Interior, 24x36 oil Work in Progress

This is one I started last year. Thinking it needs a narrative. Still working on it.

1221 Le Quatre-vingt Nord, 8x10, egg tempera

Heading home. Remember those good old days.

Sorry about the glare. I sealed the painting with glossy shellac and I couldn't eliminate the glare with my set up.

1220 Mile End Rainy Day, 8x10, egg tempera

Sold-Montreal

1219 Fire Ice and Friendship, 8x10, egg tempera

Sold

I painted this scene in a larger format about 20 years ago. I have had so much interest in it lately that I decided to paint an egg tempera version of it in a portable size. I plan to paint a larger version in oil....some day.

1218 Quebec Church, Beauce Region, , 8x10, egg tempera

This is the first painting made using my newly gessoed batch of panels. I'm sure other artists understand how thrilling it it to have a beautiful batch of freshly crafted panels. This is a one of many charming Canadian churches. I guess churches and train tracks are becoming history here in Canada. Sigh.

Prepping Panels

I'm still preparing my panels. Today I put about 8 coats of gesso on about 40 paintings in the shed and still have some on the table to do with my current batch of traditional primer. They need to dry at least two days before I can go on the the next step. I also have a pile of sealed panels waiting to be primed once I clear the table and shed.

44 panels drying

21 panels ready for gesso
