"As Previously Seen" - painted in the studio June 2007
This is the second painting to be featured in the upcoming art show benefit the Nevada Rock Art Foundation. Check my blog for the dates and details.

When I see the rock carvings that still exist to this day out in the wilderness, I wondered how many times the animals that are depicted in them have wandered by them over the centuries, so I decided to do a painting that shows just such a scenario. I call this one, "As Previously Seen", and here's the progress...

Above is my underpainting and initial drawing started as usual. After I lay in the sky, I get right to work on the bighorn sheep. Here's the detail below.

Thursday's progress...
Today I paint in the background taking care to convey atmospheric perspective and then I work in the bulk of the rocks. I should be able to finish it in one more setting, so click here to see the finished piece!
