Had been threatening for sometime to paint this truck, and wanted to get it while some snow was still resting on it. Well, the way things are going here spring of 2013 in northern Wisconsin, doesn't seem losing our snow is to worry over. This time last year, was a warm 70's...people out on the golf course.
Set up later in the afternoon...unfortunately my El Greco Trident halfbox easel I've had for about 18 years broke apart. Plans to replace underway with a new pochade. I use my Guerrilla box for smaller works...
this is 12" x 18" oil on a pumice ground panel. Used a Zorn palette, which I think I'll explore once more further. Black, red, yellow-ocre, and white. Zorn's black of his day had more blue content...so I prepare by adding 1/3rd by volume Fr. Ultramarine blue to the black...
