Oil on Canvas
large oil painting…
The bright spring sunlight has returned. Seeing it again gave me the prompt that I needed to finish off this large oil canvas fom last year. Sometimes a painting needs a year or two (even more sometimes) before it arrives at completion.
See the work in progress & some commentary in the post : Karst Landscape at the End of Winter (in the category rocks or WIP)
“Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karst
