Sunstruck

Sunstruck 16x20 oil on gesso board.

 Following this new counter intuitive painting process. Building values from light to dark. 

Throwing down thick paint and scraping away.

This painting was inspired by John Cosby. I was painting in Heisler Park.  I was approached by another plein air painter and was told John was painting at Rockpile.

John Cosby cranking out another masterpiece.  I must be honest I did not see his painting.  I finished my plein air painting, packed up  and then walked over to check in. John had just packed up his painting...but John is a master so I am sure it was amazing.

This was the view that captured my interest after visiting John.
