Beautiful Blue Boy
Tina is so patient. No telling how long she had to wait to take this photo inspiration, but it was worth it. Beautiful Blue Boy is in his element here by the lake at Furman University. This painting is an 11X14 Oils on Gessobord.
(This piece and a couple others in this collection are painted in layers instead of my normal wet on wet technique. I lay an umber layer to tone the gessobord and establish lights and darks. After that dries, I lay a gray layer to further establish contrast and values. This takes a few days to dry and then finally I add the color layer. The rich detail that comes together here is from this process.)
