Railroad Park
Last year I stopped at the exit for Railroad Park and took this photo. I did some experimenting on the background using black gesso and a papertowel to block in the trees. Then working forward I added different layers of green to create the trees. Having fun with this one. 20x24 oil painting, week 3.
Retired and living in Dorris, California since August 2007. Now I have time to expand my love of painting. After years of working for others in the corporate world I can finally explore my passion of painting and photography. I have taken photographs of images since I was a child when my parents gave me a brownie camera for my birthday. Now I am able to translate these images on to canvas in a new perspective using oil paints. I hope that you will enjoy following me as I blossom in my ability to stimulate the eye using vibrant colors that compliment the subject.
