Tonalist Minute Series #14 Roman Bridge 5x7
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
This painting features a Roman bridge over a river in a lush country setting. Greens, mauves, greys and golden rust tones predominate this cloudy scene. This painting was based on an interesting place I saw on holiday last year in Devon. I usually eschew manmade objects in my paintings but this bridge just looked so natural in this setting that I made an exception.
I hope you enjoy these videos/posts. As always I highly value your time, attention and input. I now have a store on my website that has some really nice paintings for sale, please check it out and help support my work. All paintings shipped internationally with your satisfaction guaranteed.

Tonalist Minute Series #13 Golden Meadow 3½x5
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
'Golden Meadow' is a 3½x5 of a scene I've painted a lot. What I love about this composition is that it reminds me of a John Francis Murphy scene (one of my favorite all-time painters). I've done this recently as a 7x10 also in Golden hues but this 3½x5 has a wider spread of coloration than it's bigger brother and I'm quite happy with it.

Tonalist Minute Series #12 Meadow Stream 3½x5
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
'Meadow Stream' Completed very recently, is a scene I painted back in 2011 as a 12x18. At that time that was a very large size for me. I like this scene a lot, sunset leading to twilight in the great outdoors. This 3½x5 version is better in every way than it's older brother and I'm really happy with it.

Tonalist Minute Series #10 Road to Dusk 5x7
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
'Road to Dusk' was painted back in 2014. I've painted this scene many times. The 2014 5x7 version I'm sharing today was sold way back then but I just noticed that I have got a more recent version up on my site in the store area. It's very interesting to note the differences.

Tonalist Minute Series #10 Close to Twilight 3x3
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
'Close to Twilight' was completed very recently. It's a rendition of a scene I've painted before (Much Larger). The focal point is the colorful sky that the foreground road leads us up to. I'm pretty happy with this little painting and it's currently for sale in my studio gallery.

Tonalist Minute Series #9 Dawn Breaking 3x3
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
Dawn Breaking is the second 3x3 I ever did. This painting is all about the myriad colors in the sky The trees on each side and the road are there to frame and support the sky. I confess I'm very fascinated with miniatures at the moment. This painting is currently for sale at Burning Issues Gallery here in Whangarei

Tonalist Minute Series #8 Heading West 7x7
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
'Heading West 7x7 was completed back in July/August of this year. Its a study for a larger painting that I did in August. I'm happy with both paintings but unfortunately, a huge chunk of the video went missing for the larger version so I won't be sharing that anytime soon. Heading west is a type of scene I like to paint best, nice road int the sunset with some lush tree and a lot of emotion.

Tonalist Minute Series #7 Into Twilight 3x3
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
'Into Twilight' 3x3 completed recently is a scene I also painted once before as an 8x8 back in 2013. I' really happy with the way the 3x3 mini version turned out, especially the sky. Into Twilight is the first 3x3 I did a second color pass on. It just needed it. For the most part, I'm trying to keep these little paintings to one color pass but as always quality must win out. If I see something that needs doing, I do it.

Tonalist Minute Series #6 Road at Dusk 5x7
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
Road at Dusk 5x7 was painted back in 2014. It's a scene I've revisited many times. I love 'tree tunnels' they have a fascination for me that comes out in the paintings I do. I did many nice paintings in 2014 but many of them have been revised in some way. Sold long ago now, Road at Dusk 5x7 is one that I'm very proud of and happy to share with you today.

Tonalist Minute Series #5 Edge of the Meadow 3½x5
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
A recent 3½x5 and a pretty good composition. Again I really enjoyed executing the scene at 3½x5. Whats especially neat is to zoom in and see how abstract the painting really is. I will most likely be doing this as a 7x10 in the near future.

Tonalist Minute Series #4 Dusky Path 3x3
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
Another recent 3x3. I like this composition a lot and I've done the scene in many different formats and sizes. 3x3 is definitely the smallest I've executed the scene. I really like working with a textured surface at these small sizes. 3x3 is bit small though and going forward I think I'll be jumping up to 31/2x31/2, still small but that will give me a bit more room to accommodate frame rabbits.

Tonalist Minute Series #2 Coming Rain 5x7
Welcome to the Tonalist minute series by M Francis McCarthy.
This is a redo/freshen up of a painting I did back in 2014 or so. While I like the original version, I saw some good ways to punch it up and create a more interesting piece. I'm happy to share it with you today. Stay tuned for more Tonalist Minutes:-)

Tonalist Minute Series #1 Tree with Rocks 3x3
Welcome to our first post in this new series!
I'll be rolling these out during weekdays. For now, I also plan to continue the longer format videos that I've been doing on the weekend. I've noticed that the average viewing time of my current vids was 4 minutes so I thought 'why not try a shorter format and see what people think?'
The main thrust is the videos but I intend to share them on my blog as well. Per my usual format, I will continue sharing a good resolution image and a few smaller detail images on the blog page.
