Just varnished up and my recent studio painting "Windows in the Morning" is finished. This is one of a new set of works I've been painting by using a previous plein air work for reference. The studio version, 24x18" is twice the size of my plein air painting at 12x9". #oilpainting #pleinair

Finished a new landscape that I enlarged (24x18") from one of my plein air pieces (12x9") from last summer. The larger work is cooler in tone than my field painting, and a bit more refined #oilpainting #landscape #artwork #pleinair

Juggling a few projects in the works.. usually I am an artist who concentrates on one painting at a time, but this year I've got some exciting things coming up that are requiring multiple creative efforts at once. . #artstudio #workinprogress #artprocess #oilpainting #realism #johnricher
