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.

Carving the decorative fans or sunbursts for the side panels of the alder console.  I learned the trick of nailing the panel being worked to a larger board which is then held down with my iron “holdfasts” from Peter Follansbee.
