Sawtooth Oil Painting in Stages

We last saw the Sawtooth oil painting looking quite rough. It has taken many hours, and the Fat Lady ain’t singing yet. (Close – she’s starting to warm up with a few scales.) And just in case you forgot, Sawtooth is the second most popular of the Mineral King oil painting subjects, tied with the Honeymoon Cabin. (Farewell Gap with the Crowley cabin is number one in popularity.)

The black thing is a shadow from the edge of the roof, because I worked on it outside in the sunshine.

When all those green grasses are dry enough, I will add wildflowers. Then I will probably revisit some of the upper parts, add a few more details, correct some more color.

Chill out, Fat Lady. Your time will come.

  1. WOW factor !!!

    • But Lupe, what we want to know is What Would Dave Say?? 😎

  2. What I enjoy about your photo montage is that from one photo to the next you can hardly tell what’s been changed. But when compare photo #1 with the last, there is a huge difference! Thanks for documenting the progress.

    • Baby steps, Sharon. Tons of baby steps. “A yard is hard but an inch is a cinch”. Good thing I have lots of experience in baby steps, like knitting one stitch at a time or drawing with one pencil stroke at a time.

      Thanks for watching, enjoying and communicating!

      • Or in my case, one (crochet) loop at a time!
