Photos of what I'm painting right now, shown in stages.
 "Dead Trees in High Water"Started a new 40" x 30". Another photo I took from my canoe in N Wisconsin. |  "Dead Trees in High Water"Was easier to finish the lower part of the drawing w/ paint. |  "Dead Trees in High Water"Starting to add some detail to all that dark water. |
|---|---|---|
 "Dead Trees in High Water"Starting to look like a painting... |  "Dead Trees in High Water"This is hard to photograph. Lots of glare at the top. |  "Dead Trees in High Water"Tightened up background shadow detail, added more highlights and finished grassy banks. Also got a better photo without artificial lighting blowing out everything. |
 Chicago in the Time of CovidThis 30"x40" shows up here well underway bc I haven't been updating this site (I completed and sold my previous painting"Into the Slough" w/out ever posting in-progress pics). |  Chicago in the Time of CovidMy daughter Hannah took this photo during the first big lockdown, around 9:00 p.m. The city is a ghost town. |
