Early Morning Light

Early Morning Light
Oil over acrylic on panel, 14x11
The early morning light was spectacular this morning, in between the rains!  I started this one with an acrylic underpainting in golden tones.  The acrylic really makes a resistant coat for the oils, one that doesn't soak up the paint.  My brushstrokes hold their shape better, and I am leaving more paint off my brush.  So far, I like the way I can manipulate the oils with this kind of base.  Our baseball game was rained out tonight, so I am posting early for a change!  This is painting number 165 in 165 days.  I just put the finishing touches on a graphite portrait, too.  Today has been a good day!
