Building layers onto the upper half panel of Walking Man and the Ancient Ocean.  Here, the clouds, sky, middle and far landscapes, and the cliff have all been recipients of a second layer on top of the underpainting.  Below are two details, and the panel in two  previous states.

These are images from a new painting I am starting about Jacob when he is wrestling the Angel.  This is a very enjoyable stage in painting on canvas- feeling out the forms with yellow ocher, then raw sienna, and burnt sienna.  These pictures represent about five hours of work.
