A new painting

This morning a long time collector purchased a new painting done in thick oils.
I will ship it in two weeks to give it a chance to dry some more before making the journey.
Even thought in Colorado the humidity level in the summer is less than 10%, the oil paintings still do not dry as fast as you would imagine them to.

Today I started a new painting with a figure crouching on the floor. The interesting angle is taken from the floor level where his head is.
His arm are supporting the weight of his body and his head is embedded in his shoulders.
It is a challenging pose to draw.

We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
