Painting on the Gila

Yesterday, Jane and Miriam and I went out to the Gila River looking for good painting spots. More driving than painting but it was a beautiful spring day and it was good to be together again.

Dog and Sheep







This is the underpainting I started last year for the Meeker Sheepdog Art Contest. Yesterday I started adding color. Today I worked on the dog some more but wiped out everything I did on the sheep. I'll try again another day.

March 12 - Added two more photo as I'm working on the sheep. I keep going back and forth on the relative values of the light and dark. Seems to work better with more contrast but it's getting to be a very dark painting. I also go back and forth on how much in focus the sheep should be. Right now the middle sheep is in sharper focus with the ones on the sides less so With the focus on the eyes above I'm thinking of softening all the sheep features.....time for a walk.
May 1 - Final piece after darkening the dog in the background.
