Landscape painting & loving it !

[Larry Seiler]

I've been painting landscapes in oil and acrylic now for the last couple
years after 20 years illustrating and painting commercial/competitive
wildlife art. I'm having a blast and finding success getting work into a
growing number of midwest galleries.

Just wondering if any other landscape painters frequent the newsgroup here.

I invite you to check out my site......bypass the other genre subjects on
portfolio there as you go into "Gallery" and check out my landscapes.

My process after years of tireless painstaking detail in wildlife subjects
for landscapes is to literally attack the canvas/panel. Many of my
landscapes these days....or at least 50%..are done on location, and that
means competing with changing lighting conditions. About 60-70% of the
painting is blocked in and refined with a palette knife, and then finished
with smaller brushes emphasizing light and negative space
shapes....creating the illusion of detail and image.

Let me know what you think!
take care.....and hope the holidays have been special for you!
