Picking the jury ....

11 x 14 oil on paper .. Alla Prima .. Knives .. not sure on this and it just may be that my mind is pushing for a change again.

Gorgeous Wayne. I love your titles. Maybe better than mine

Please don't change it! It seems so perfect. But I know you should only listen to your own council, of course. These colors play excellent(ly) off each other. Th falling tree is my favorite here. So natural.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Arty. Promise not to. Just finished the piece for tomorrow and I am excited about it. I studied a bunch of Soutine paintings last night and early this morning and decided to venture in that direction for a bit. I ain't Soutine but his application suits me. Sloppy with attention to getting your attention.

I like your work so much. These colors sing.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Jo.
Secret so don't tell anyone. I glaze translucent colours down over my with paper and allow some of the glazes to remain while I go over others with different colours and mixes. I do it wet in wet so I guess it really isn't a glaze but it works similar.

Wonderful painting.

 

[Enyaw]

thank you Katie ..

 

[Terri]

This is a real beauty - one of my favorites from you recently! Your blue touches on the trees is inspired. I just love the color bomb of the center right - like a bonfire just caught blaze. I love this!

 

[Charlie’s Mum (Maureen)]

Your work appeals to me too!
It’s been COP 26 here past two weeks and your painting immediately invoked the wild fires your country suffered this year … spontaneous combustion!

You spend a lot of time in the woods. Great paintings come from that. I like this one, it looks like a nighttime exploration with a light.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Terri. My colours come from within from things seen or dreamed. I don't know.

Thank you Maureen. I am glad they invoke a feeling.

Thank you Perry. I'm sure there will be others to vote.

Thank you Zen.
Yes, as a boy I was fishing the brooks. As a teen I was snaring rabbit in the woods. As an adult I hiked often in the woods. I was lucky enough to be brought up in a rural area and developed a love for outside. The color and smell stays with you.

 

[Donna T]

Works for me, Wayne. I really like how bold you are with your colors!

 

[Enyaw]

Thanks Donna.

 

[Trier]

That spotlight effect is very appealing as are the colors. Well done Wayne.

 

[Enyaw]
