I just got my latest work to the point where I'm happy with it. This is a little rougher than I usually leave things - and it's done with stand oil on wood panels, so the paint is going to float around and drip and mix together a fair bit more over the next couple of weeks as the thing dries - but I know better than to continue messing with a piece after it gets to where it should be...
Here are some process pics. This one started with a paint sketch, then I filled in the earth tones, then I brought out the composition.
One of the coolest things about painting big is that zooming in on any part of a work reveals a whole world of color and texture.
And here's the complete painting, ready to be set somewhere until it dries, or until I change the whole thing in some random fit of inspiration.
