Your research on this photo is great! I just thought it was a great picture but having the historical setting just adds to it.
I went back and read the thread on John's Aaron photo progression. I am so excited to see the steps that my Ruth painting will be going through soon. 😃

Eric,
I suggest to you to copy this thread for the history of your painting. It is rare when you are able to get a detailed description of how your painting was created, as told by the artist himself. Having that history, years from now, could easily add to the provenance of your painting. It couldn't hurt to have that history.

Good idea Bill. I'll certainly do that.

Hey all,

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and has since recovered from their respective food comas.

I got around to getting the drawing of Babe down on canvas, so I thought I'd share.



And also managed to cover the surface with the underwash I use as a ground for the other color that'll be laying on top of it.



It's going to take a few days to dry, but once it does, I can hop on it and start painting!

That is neat Graig. Thanks for taking the time to let the board see a part of how it's done. (so to speak)

I love seeing this sketched out stage. I think this piece is going to look great. All Graig's work does but this piece has lots of nice light and shadow areas that Graig is so good at capturing.

Awesome thread!
