Covering up the old

Like most artists I have a pile of paintings that I started or even finished and decided they were not that great.  So... I am trying to use up these canvases by painting on top of them.  Currently I have this one sitting on the easel waiting for the underpainting to dry so I can continue with it.  Hopefully the second attempt on top comes out better than the first painting.  If so I will post it here.  For now I already can see some issues I need to fix.

Collecting photos


Some beautiful views on a recent hike.  Collecting photos maybe for some future paintings.

More Plein Aire practise

Summer has arrived and it has been VERY busy.  Family commitments, yard work and moving have all pulled me away from painting.  I am squeezing in a few and this one was a quick 'study' near the Elk river.
