Pass #2: Dad is an avid fisherman, and loves the outdoors. As I stared at the first pass, I thought, he would rather be outdoors, by a lake, in the fresh air. The background is a subconscious memory of the places we used to fish when I was a child. ...not that I ever liked to fish, but I loved being with my family out there in the sunshine. I feel like the next pass needs to be very deliberate and judicious.
Oil on Canvas
11"X14"
This is just a start...but I thought it might be fun to watch a progression, especially since this piece is taking its own unique path. I started with a "sight-size" sketch using pencil on the canvas, and followed that with a light oil wash just to tone the canvas. Stay tuned...
