I'm trying a new thing here, tinting the gesso with a middle ground color and working up a value painting before applying my oil washes. Below you see the final sketch through finish.

Bayou Boogie
It's been quite a while since my last post but I have not been idle. The below image was originally inspired by my sister Lisa's story about a "pet" alligator that became quite friendly (too friendly) around her husband Richard's fishing camp in the bayou near their home in SW Louisiana.

This painting is beautiful Cathy. The colour is really luminous as well. Thank you for posting your process.
