Step by Step - Planning a Painting

This painting started with a commission.

The client requested a 20X24 oil painting of his alma mater, Johns Hopkins University.

Lots of phone calls, research and just plain thinking about this project later, I finally started!

The first step was a few sketches and planning out the format.
More tomorrow!

Sharon,
So sweet of you to comment!
Maybe a video "next" time, and it would have to be a comedy! I worried about this commission for so long, once I started it just flowed because I had already painted it in my mind many times!

A Little About Me

As a military wife, I had the opportunity to study classical oil painting for three years while living in Europe.
I lived in a small town surrounded by the Belgium countryside. During this time I also learned scenery painting with the local theater group.
When I returned to the United States, I re-enrolled in college and majored in Fine Art.

I have always been fascinated with painting, I remember being in an artist's home when I was about six, and "really looking" at the paintings wondering "how" they were made? This sense of wonder about painting has held my attention all-of-my-life.

Today, I still study painting daily, and continuously look for inspiration for that next painting!
