Long Winter Nap
14” x 18”
A snow scene usually gets my attention, and this one began with snow on the ground. However, as the session progressed, flakes started flying and eventually I had to hold an umbrella over my panel to keep the snow from interfering with the paint. I'm pleased with the result of this outing with the All-Weather Gang and I'm glad I stayed with it. I look for patterns when I paint, and the snow on the farm equipment made for a textual opportunity to capture the beauty of winter.
Long Winter Nap is framed in a gold wooden frame. The frame is a 3 1/2" molding, so in the frame it presents as 21" tall by 25" wide. It's framed as shown ready to hang with felt pads to protect the wall. The canvas panel is a Raymar 56MC Medium Cotton is a professional grade double acrylic primed, 100% pure cotton duck canvas with a medium weave with uniform texture. This is my favorite painting surface because the absorbent canvas grabs the paint for an opaque effect yet keeps your brushstroke visible to create textured landscape. It particularly suits my technique of underpainting warm compliments in oil washes, which support the "real" color in the final painting. The archival 1/8" MDF has no added oils and the back of the board is sealed with gray melamine to prevent warping and deterioration. The paint is Winsor & Newton professional oil colors which are permanent. The painting is varnished and will last for hundreds of years.
