Another path of light through the woods - nicely done, Wayne.

I’d walk there any day. Beautiful!

I really like seeing how you interpret the photo, Wayne. You manipulate the light too so that we are guided through the painting. Changing the trees in the back to white made a huge difference! So beautiful!

Much darker and moodier than the previous one. I like it!

You did a great job of simplifying all those busy areas, especially on the left! This reminds me that there is a lot of beauty in subtle winter colors, not that flowers won't be welcome soon.

Wonderful muted winter colors in this one and a very moody feel for me too. Was this also a black and white reference, Wayne?

I'm glad to hear you're safe!

Color and value are hard for me to mentally separate. I’ll bet this way lets you use color more as a design element too, as in an eye-catching red boat.

I really like this, Wayne! You must be very comfortable painting boats living where you do.

Thanks Wayne and Terri! Waxed paper (freezer paper) is what I have so I’m glad it’s ok to use it. Great tip about the felt sliders, Terri!

I’m getting ready for a cross-country move and my art supplies are mostly packed. I have several oil paintings on paper and a few on panels that need to be packed up. Is it ok if I put wax paper between them to prevent them from sticking together or should I use parchment paper? I know that...

There you go with invented colors again - and they work very well. Nice nostalgic feeling with this one.

Outstanding! Beautiful work on the cat, especially the life-like eyes!

Super chilly! I have a feeling you’re liking these B&W inspirations. The touches of sunlight keep it from feeling oppressively cold.

I’m sorry to hear it’s so difficult to get oil painting supplies in Indonesia. Would it be possible to do watercolors or gouache instead? Any plein air time is so worthwhile so I hope you don’t give up on the idea. 17,000 islands are a lot of potential painting views!
