The Trail

[Enyaw]

Little guy is just a view across the room.

this is 11 x 14 inches .. oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted April 17/22
I am currently playing with my Dorlands wax by adding a Green and Linseed Oil to make it more fluid. So instead of painting with thick paint I am painting with a more fluid paint. I am enjoying it but still having issues with the medium. I need to get it fluid but I am trying to keep the drying time and matte finish. I know they will suffer but they need to suffer only slightly. This was yesterday's and it was too thin and the wax didn't get into the act at all. I mixed in more wax for today's batch but that's tomorrow's story.

I like effect, this perhaps gives it even more rhythm, flow, life is as always it's all beautiful and fantastic colours

This is a real beauty. You may not have gotten what you wanted - but I'd hang this on my wall in a heart beat and that is the highest compliment I can give !

 

[Terri]

Gorgeous palette!! You know you're never going wrong by me with all that purple.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Joe. Yes, more transitional than paint simply over paint as now I put it over and through.

Thank you CaliAnn. That is a huge compliment. I got the painting but it's the finish I am trying to refine. I like a quick dry and a matte finish. That way you can hang it anywhere without glare.

Thanks Terri. I do recall you liking purple

That's just dreamy; those colors and the brush strokes are working together so well. I have a little jar of Gamblin Cold Wax but haven't tried mixing it with oil paint yet. It seems like this stuff could be a lot of fun so I look forward to seeing your results, Wayne.

Nice work, Wayne! I love that pool of light on the trail. Great colors and application.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Patrica.

Thanks Donna. I will try to update over the next few days. Should not take long to figure it out.

Thanks Lamar. Diamond trail.

This is one of my favorites again. All that purple is luscious and stunning. I like all the effect of the medium. I like that wax medium a lot myself as well. But I always forget to use it.

Thanks Ayin. Got lucky again.
