windows 3, 17x21” oil on linen at the end of my painting day
2:24 PM: this morning i began work on a new painting in this 17x21” series of oils on linen, titled windows 3. like it’s predecessors, it’s inspired by photos i shot recently of the crew installing our 12 new windows.
i decided to continue what i began with windows 2 & 1, as i felt incomplete with this series. it deserves more, especially since it rests so heavily on my passion for views from above, and most of the photos i shot are from our upper floor looking down. in looking at 1& 2, i felt like i could definitely take this series further.
this is, thus far, being borne out by this morning’s experience. i’m feeling more certainty; from mixing the colors i want to use, to the way i paint light & shadow, to my compositional decisions. but i do see now that i need to order more smaller oil brushes, which i’m about to do.
