The Cavalier

A shot post for a Sunday morning, Scooter is a little under the weather and has been up a good bit of the night with an upset stomach. Here is another of the small format oils I have executed. I was drawn to the lace at the wrists.

I was six years old when I heard Bill Haley and the Comets play Rock Around the Clock on  AM radio and I've been hooked on Rock and Roll ever since.

Get out and Rock n' Roll Today.

Small Format Oils

This is a small oil painting that I executed as a possible cash item, for sale on Etsy or Ebay. The format is 6 inches by 6 inches. The support is BFK mounted on chipboard and then gessoed. The composition is a copy of a portion of a painting by Rembrandt. The intention was not as a replication but rather a short cut for composition. The purpose is rather to display the beauty of the paint in the glazing and impasto.

I make up six supports at a time and paint them as a group after selecting subjects and doing a quick sketch of each on a support. I can paint them in about fourteen hours time. I have painted one set and have put the project aside for a time as I consider the merits of the project. Have a lovely Wednesday.
