"Heritage"

"Looking West" is proving harder to get right, to my satisfaction, so am turning to another idea - and yes, another still life... it is not yet in a form to be posted, tho will shortly be so - so life goes on, even if not quite in the way as first presumed [yes, I know - does it ever?]......

What is it? a stone slab on which rests, propped, a ladle..... there's more, of course, but this will set, hopefully, the interest...;-)

Interlude.......

Been sort of taking a break, reading a number of books as a change of pace - just finished the works of Charles Sheffield, now on those of Dick Francis... but in short time the itch will be beyond ignoring and will be on the next rendering, "Looking West", a now 15"x40" panoramic landscape with figure on the right...

Of course, along the way [lately via my walks in the morning], am coming up with new theme/titles to play with [terrible, isn't it, to have ideas pop into my head like plucking apples from a tree...]...

"Engagement" 11

And I have made an end of it...........

"Engagement" 10

Am doing two layerings for the back ground, and here am showing both, in progress, so as to show why the first layering [red earth] is used, and how the second [antelope brown] finishes it off...

And layering antelope brown over the drawer beings the dresser to finish... now - on to the back ground......

"Engagement" 8

With new nibs, am back to layering colors - antelope brown, and on the top of the dresser, layering over that, raw sienna and another antelope brown...
