18X24″ oil on canvas
I finished the 2nd runner painting today. You might notice that I took the upper foothills out altogether and put in sky and a new hill back there. I fought with those hills a lot and had them all different colors and shapes and finally scraped it all off. I wanted this painting to have a different look and feel than the last and I think this change accomplished that. I also had the chance to try out my new signature. I have complained a lot about the letters in my name and how I don’t think they look good as a signature. The L’s and the final D in Millward bother me, too many vertical lines. So there it is. I’m hoping I can evolve it into something looser. It’s a little silly to even talk about it, I know…
I got the other runner painting back from the framer yesterday and delivered it to it’s new home. I had it framed in a natural maple reveal/floating frame. It looked perfect.

Good call on the hills in my opinion, it’s made the painting look very fresh. Lovely job! 🙂

Thank you Rebecca! It felt so good to let go of those hills and scrape them off. I did a lot of fighting and with them.

This version of the joggers looks great. Love the sky now instead of hills, making it more open. Totally different landscape.
