This unfinished painting is titled The Picnic. Today’s session was the fourth, not including the drawing sessions. The painting is 40″ x 56″. The ground is neutral burnt sienna, which can be seen on the building in the upper-right. Recently, I’ve moved to neutral gray grounds.

Here are recent unfinished paintings. The bottom two are from a batch of 30″ x 40″ canvases. That batch of paintings have nothing in common except size. I stretched a half-dozen at one go. The middle painting began with a closed window, I then opened the window and added a landscape view through it. Now, as you…
