Best Of

Got sick of photographs as a source, but bound to use them again in the future. Built a shadow box and now getting use to proportion dividers and colour checker. Soooo hard!

A recent portrait I made. 

Found an old photo of my friend and me on the mountains in  Glen Coe Scotland
so I thought I would do a painting of it, so here it is, oil on canvas board 20 x 16 inches.

Tried working with a bit of a looser brush on this one. Still have some highlights to put in and some other touchups so certainly open to any suggestions. Is the falling snow/sleet working? Thanks for looking. 

This is the last in the big seascape series that I've been doing for my exhibition this year. So relieved I'm done with the series. It's still a WIP and not yet dry so if anyone has any comments/criticism/suggestions I'd love to hear them whilst it's still wet and easy to scrape down. There's a lot of glare in the top third of the picture. Will take a better photo when it's less glary and windy outside.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

(I've replaced the photo I originally posted with this one that reflects the true colours better)

Here's a another photo that better reflects the true colours. Still glare on the top third, though.

Or chips as we call them here 

Replaced this with better photo taken in daylight




5 x 3.5 oil on wooden panel

This is on a 9 x 12 gessoed panel. The first oil work I've done in a couple of months. I've been tuning up my watercolor. Been a long time.
Late afternoon at a dead low tide. From my favorite boat place..

I realize there are some lighting issues, but I'm calling this done. 

OK - last spam on this one, here are the DSLR images, also will be posting to Instagram ( mgilmourfineart ) over the next weeks as I hope to also finish off two new ones.
