The title of this oil painting is called cold cellar. It is a 12" x 12" oil on canvas.

There are many ways to start a painting. This painting was started with washes of color, it almost looks like a water color.

My objective was to eliminate the white of the canvas.
This gives me the opportunity to make any changes to the composition early in the painting.

I start the oil thin and use thicker paint to finish it up.


This oil is on exhibit at the Connexions Gallery in Easton, PA until August 2010.
