The Yellow Boat

This was painted on a Pannelli A Olio oil primed board, hand made in Italy.  It has a texture that grabs the paint and the brushwork is quite different than canvas.  They were made for landscape paintings where a rough texture is desired.

Fields of Lavender

This is my latest painting in progress..I'm working the foreground, and contemplating adding trees to the right, still uncertain. I am so anxious for spring..I thought I would help nature out a bit and paint some green and wildflowers..

Well, I finished this one today, pretty happy with it.  The challenge was the main tree, which I painted last, and the canvas was wet so I used a maulstick...
