Took a weekend break for a trip to Reno. Nice weather but not much art work except sketching. Finally in the habit of carrying a pad with me again. Also took a few landscape photos of the Truckee River that runs through town.
Finished a small Mexico landscape and worked another layer on a new abstract tonight. Did the small landscape, 8 x 10, with a palette knife after being unsatisfied with the normal painted version. You can see some of the thickness of the paint. I used a new alkyd quick dry medium plus galkyd medium to make the paint the right consistency and insure it dries in a week or two. Using the water soluble oils and these mediums I can use thicker strokes on all my work and still paint a few times a week on the same work without disturbing the layers. Those are three sun bleached granite rocks, really small islands, in the distance. This is the view from the shore in Mazatlan.
