Study to Studio

Working from a study to a larger studio painting
Working from a study to a larger studio painting


I have been thinking lately about working from studies to larger studio pieces.   Because I travel so much and take all my painting gear with me, I don't work in the studio too often.  But, lately I have been wanting to really work larger.  I guess spending so much time on small paintings has worn thin and I'm getting the bug to "throw some paint around"! 

So, today I started the 24x30 painting above from a small study called "Along the Mohawk".

As with most plein air work, I really like the study and think the larger work has a long way to go.  I will show the finished piece in my next post.  Stay tuned!

Your smaller paintings always have a presence, bigger than they actually are. The larger painting looks amazing. Your color orchestration is fantastic.

Ann,
Your paintings are absolutely gorgeous.
I wish you were having workshops in California.
Thank you for giving us this beautiful gift of viewing your art.
Happy New Year,
Maria

Nice meeting you in Saratoga your description is promising for me and inspiring looks good so far George

Great work, I like your style. I am also an oil painter, not as advanced as you but am working hard.

Have just come across you on Artist Road Ann. I like your idea of study to Studio. In fact I think I prefer studio work where there is the opportunity to bend the subject etc. Studio paintings don't necessarily have to be large? Your small paintings are very good. I like your really understated ones such as High Overcast And Reflection. Have you considered studio versions of these ?
No snow down this way Ann just plenty of flies and Mosquitoes.

Ann,
My wife and I purchased this painting from the Sorelle Gallery in New York and we just love it. We get tons of comments on it. Beautiful!

Do you do paintings like Dolittle's?. Or know someone who does? I saw a picture of a horse head with Indian scenes within it. Can only see -Larson”

Hi, I would like to add a second vote for you to come out to California to do a workshop! (I'm an hour north of Los Angeles) So now you have 2 students if you want to do it. thankyou so much! Also a Digital Class would be great. Lisa

Omg you sound just like me! I want to throw some paint around too and paint large! It is hard to keep the looseness of the plein air version when doing so. I can't wait to see your end product. Love your art work.

Hello girl! Yes this is Charlene's big sister. Your work is lovely! So happy for your accomplishments.

Ann, I knew your paintings were good, but wow , they are just breath taking! I know now why they call you an artist! So proud of you and your paintings, they are beautiful!
