Time lapse of Day 14 of my quarantine paintings. It’s difficult to determine true colors and values on a white surface so I like to tone my canvas before painting. This also creates a unified surface that will show through the thin parts of the painting. This is based on a reference I took while at the Fraser’s Ridge Homecoming @leatherwoodmountains hosted by @outlandernorthcarolina .

Ignis Fatuus or Fool’s Fire. In Britain, this phenomenon is known as the Will o’ the Wisp. Some say it’s due to a release of gases in marshy areas. However, in folklore the Will o’ the Wisp can lead one to the realm of the Faeries and great treasure or lead the wayward traveler to their death in the Bog. Whatever the explanation, follow at your own risk!

Quarantine painting, day 12. This is the progress after day 2 of working on this 40x30. I have left the shadows thin to allow the toned canvas to show through. I wanted to maintain transparent layers to create the feeling of the moon or ambient light filtering through the trees at night. I will explain the story behind this work after tomorrow’s painting session, hopefully!
