Afternoon Sketch

I was able to go out to the park and do a quick 5x7 oil sketch of a tree. I took my hound dog Illy with me, who did a nice job entertaining those that came by. It was a great exercise to focus on a tree study. Painting on the smaller canvas is quite challenging. To see some awesome paintings this size, check out Marc Hanson's blog http://marchanson.blogspot.com. He just completed a painting marathon that is very impressive. I'm going to take a workshop of his later this month, and I'm excited to get to learn from him.
