Grant Green Painting

Some progress photos of a 4ft x 6ft painting I am doing for a restaurant on wood panel. Probably about 1/2 way there.



Over a year ago I started this. This was shot 1/13/07. I began with orange and my initial idea was for it to be orange. Things change when you sit on something this long



outlining is key. Once I had my basic image composed the rest is what feels right.



so i was going to attempt this big drip looking feel with raw wood exposed but as you can see it didn't really work out.



So after I was commissioned to do a few paintings for this restaurant I decided to make it blue and give it a "blue note" kinda feel.



the set up in the refuge (garage)



Finished? Maybe...always sleep on it is my motto.



Detail shows you its not just blue and that the base orange still comes through at spots. Lately I have been adding extra color for interest.
