Portrait of My Studio

"My Studio"
30 x 24

I love painting interiors. Over the past six months or so, I have avoided painting from photographs, and have painted exclusively from life. That approach makes it very difficult to paint interiors--there are just not many indoor spots that one can set up an easel and make a mess with oil paints and solvent! 

But then I had the idea to set up a little vignette in my studio. The painting above is the result. I was pleased with the way the painting evoked the feel of the place. And I love the aggressive brush strokes. I really worked on my paint application this time to "lay it and leave it".

    You're doing some really nice work! I love the fabrics and texture in the wall.
