Loopy - Day #27

I'm feeling a little loopy keeping up with painting every day
 for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.

In addition I am getting ready for a show at the Keokuk, Iowa Art Center that I am sharing with my artist friend 
Carlene Dingman Atwater.

We will be showing quite a few of our 30 Day paintings.
The ones that are DRY!

Loopy
5" x 7" - Oil on Panel

The reference photo was taken at a Canadian airshow 
 by Prince Edward Island Photographer Stephan DesRoches
who was kind enough to give me permission to use it for this painting.

This is quite a small painting and was done wet over dry.
I painted the blue background the night before 
with a low toxicity M. Graham Alkyd/Walnut Oil medium.

I think I will do a larger version in the future 
and paint it wet into wet.
This should create more of an atmospheric effect
which should be fun.

  1. I haven't been able to comment on every post, but believe me when I say that I have enjoyed each painting you have done for this challenge. I was just telling an artist friend of mine about you, and how you paint the air around the airplane! This is fantastic!
