Oil Painting of Watch Hill, RI Merry-Go-Round Almost Finished

When you compare this image with previous photos of this oil painting you can see the various stages of completion. If you look at earlier posts you can see how this painting has progressed. I am still working on the details around the carousel including the people and the roof of the merry go round. Don't forget this is a 40 inch by 40 inch oil on canvas so it takes some time to paint something this size.

Another project I am working on is a 4 foot by 7 foot stretched canvas. The painting is going to be a marine chart of the Branford, Connecticut shoreline. The colors are a dark blue and white. Check back to follow along with each stage of the painting. Also I should be finishing the oil of the New England merry-go-round at Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

Painting the Detail on Watch Hill Merry Go Round Oil Painting on Canvas

The Watch Hill, Rhode Island oil painting of the merry go round and Napa Tree Point is coming along. I am working on the detail around the carousel area. Adding more detail to the carousel itself and the kids riding the merry-go-round. The photo below is just a small area on this large 40 inch by 40 inch oil painting on canvas.

This Saturday from 4:30 - 7pm is a gallery opening with art demonstrations at Artisans Harbor in Old Saybrook. It's a free event and a unique way to enjoy your happy hour on Saturday evening!  I will be demonstrating watercolor painting during the opening. My next watercolor class starts March 19th here at Artisans Harbor 188 Main Street in Saybrook, CT
Hope to see you Saturday!

Oil Painting of the Carousel and Napatree Point in Watch Hill, Rhode Island In Progress - Follow Along

My large sunset oil painting of the Historic Carousel and Napatree Point in Watch Hill, Rhode Island is coming along. I have continued refining the center of the painting, the area between the buildings on the right and the carousel. This is where the road curves past the carousel with the people in line and the arch overhead.

Napatree Point has an old fort at the end of the beach that you can walk out and see. In my painting Napatree Point is the penninsula going from the right side to the left just above the center of the canvas. The photo here on the left is the old fort.

To look at how this oil painting has progressed from the beginning look below at previous posts.

Starting Watch Hill Sunset with Carousel Oil Painting On Canvas

This is the start of an oil painting from Watch Hill, Rhode Island with the famous flying horse carousel. This is a large painting, the size is 40 inch by 40 inch. I started by painting this burnt sienna color right on the the large canvas, laying out the compostion. This also helps with the values or the light and dark areas of the painting. I want to keep this a warm painting with yellows, oranges, and brown colors throughout the entire painting. I will be showing my progress here on my blog so check back for the next step of the Watch Hill Carousel on the big canvas. Thanks
