Twilight Road 3½x3½ Tonalist Landscape Painting

Hello and welcome to Tonalist landscape painting with M Francis McCarthy

Twilight Road 3½x3½ by M Francis McCarthy, Oil on Wood Panel

I've painted this scene before, once as a 12x18 and then later as 12x12 now I've gone small at 3½x3½ . I'm attracted to the light hitting the area just under the main tree. Gold, warm and cool greens and rust color this country scene.

A Road in France 5x7 Landscape Painter Minute #35

Ah, the South of France... Went there in 2012 and it was really beautiful. Funny enough, much of the countryside reminded me of California (where I from, originally). This scene features an old road winding around a bend. The colors are of late summer, ochres, tans, warm greys and earthy greens.

New Day, New Blog

I've been blogging since I started painting back in 2008, Thought it might be a good time to switch to the built-in Squarespace blog again. Bloggers getting sort of long in the tooth.

Welcome

I've been blogging since I started painting back in 2008, Thought it might be a good time to switch to the built-in Squarespace blog again. Blogger is getting sort of long in the tooth.

I will at be sharing high rez pics of the images from my painting demos here. I may get back into essays as well. We'll see.

Well, I was sharing a massive demo here and on YouTube publicly but I'm not sure it's accomplishing what I want to do with my channel. If you want to see it, it's still being made available to my mailing list subscribers.

Cheers,

M Francis McCarthy
