Earlier this morning, a smooth gradient, and probably the last of the 4 series of fall paintings I’ll be doing this season. (Unless I catch up and feel like doing more). Next up is adding that beautiful fall foliage!

“An Enchanted Castle on the Pastel Fjord”
16 x 20”
Oil on canvas

First one at the new studio (our house). I’m glad I took my time on this one, and ready for the next one. Not sure if I’ll gain any speed or not back into it, life is currently a little chaotic and my creative juices are being sucked from the garage carpentry projects so I can get the millions of tools organized. My wife has tasked me with building her a library in one of the spare bedrooms, and I intend to make it look as beautiful as possible.

There’s a few spots on this piece that I absolutely adore; the places where the sun is, the waters weird pastel reflections, the castle’s striking shape against a subtle sky, and the boat.

I’m hoping to give you all more “boats”. Many folks loved the 1 boat I’ve done in the past, so I’ll play around with that, and I also want to try getting back into the castles from afar point vantage. I don’t seem to do well on the up close parts of a castle.

What do you think?

With the studio finally set up in our new home, I can finally continue painting again.

The Ramble:

Not putting so much pressure on myself to complete something and trying to have fun being somewhere else (on the canvas and in my imagination) are my 2 main goals.

I’ve been cycling through several ideas and options and subjects that I would want to pick up where I last left off, and have created an elaborate library of categorized inspiration using Pinterest. I think it’s quite hard what to do next… there’s so many good ideas out there.

This first one at the new studio however, I’m going back in time about a decade to my Castle fascination. I still can’t put a pin on why I love them so much. Maybe it’s the layout of geometric shapes against nature, maybe it’s the foreboding feeling of power mixed with the beauty of what might lurk within its shadows, maybe it’s the ideas that spark inside my mind for untold stories like, “who lives there?” Or, “what’s the air smell like?” Or, “what kind of attire are people wearing?” All without depicting or saying it in the picture.

Let’s see where this one takes me : )

Finished this small digital piece, guess it came out to be -about 430 x 430 ish.. but, it felt much bigger on the screen I did it on.

This time I used the eye dropper tool and made a palette from those colors. As I do with actual canvas and paint, I continued my process of looking at the actual picture from another iPad instead of switching back and forth on the work with the layers. After it was all filled in, I did the blur tool to mix in the colors.

I’m hoping to do more practice like this in this way to narrow down what colors really are, so when I get back to actual canvas and paint, the colors are correct, or closer to realistic.
