Every so often I find myself longing for sepia tones. This little painting is of a mill in a nearby town. I just love the way light plays on the geometric structures of factory architecture. And New England mills are just a delightful subject in general don't you think?

I painted this last year as the beginning of a series of 6 sepia mill paintings.  Admittedly I'm still haven't moved on to No. 2 yet.  Doh!  Oh me and my "big" ideas. I have problems. Maybe 2018 will be the year to see this series through, eh?

And in the spirit of the season . . . let's open an auction on this baby and start the bidding at the bargain-basement price of $85 -- Holy Smokes!  I need to make room for some 2018 paintings.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm keeping this one short and sweet.  It's SuperBowl day, although by the time you read this it will be all over and we'll know who the winner is.  I hope I'm not disappointed.  :)

Have a great start to your week.

Sepia Mill No. 1

work-in-progress
6" x 6"
(watercolor on aquabord)

So I've been messing with some photos I've shot of old mills.  A while ago I took a class in printmaking and did a small series of monochromatic linoleum prints of some mills. I've decided to work on my values and do some little sepia paintings of new mill images.  We'll see how it goes.

Have a lovely weekend!
