My first go on one of these smooth wood panels. I am instantly aware of every brushstroke. I love painting on these. I applied 4 coats of gesso, sanded between coats. It seems as much work to prep. the wood as it did to paint it.
This white heron was stalking a slough near Bitter Lake.

Majestueux que ce héron. J'aime le choix des couleurs et la lumière qui l'illumine.
Amitiés.
So breathtaking, Rick!
I love the brushstroke in your bird. It seems this wood is a perfect ground for you. The stately position you captured gives it such a dominating, kingly feeling. Love the colors and texture in the shadows and feathers. The mosaic brushstrokes in the distance are flickering fun to view.
Nice job!
dude, i just clicked on this and looked at the larger version. I am in awe of your brush strokes and use of color. bravo!
Sure captured this one-- just lovely!
