I loved the new animated film “Loving Vincent,” which was hand painted by 100 artists in the Van Gogh style. The film inspired me to see how good, a digital oil painting effect I could get on my IPad Pro. I used the KDAN animation program, to sketch the animation, and painted the individual frames in a paint program, Art Set Pro. Background is repeated every 4 frames. It was worth the extra effort to use the paint program.

What I Did Last Summer Part 3
Just before I moved, I painted a 6×6” canvas for the BAC Fundraiser.
I went to one last meet up with “The Basement Painters” at the BAC in the newly renovated building. They have a wonderful new workspace with great company.
Here’s where the 6×6 paintings hung. It’s a very successful event.
What I Did Last Summer Part 2
I went an Artist Retreat at Pointer’s Ridge in late June. We painted in Plein Air along the Big Sioux River. 8×10” Acrylic on Canvas Board.
I did a portrait of an old Dutch Elm stump, and had some fun with it! 9×12” Acrylic on Canvas Board.
Here is the quaint little A-frame we stayed in.
Summer Fields
6×8″ stretched canvas with gallery edges.
Although I’m happy with the painting, I want to have thicker paint like some of my other works. I did an experiment of leaving a dollop of each for 15 hours prior to adding the paint to my pallette although it was thicker, it was not thick enough to my liking. I will try leaving out longer before adding it. If I can find the right amount of time, it’s just a matter of planning ahead.

Send in the Clouds (Final)
I painted the horizon and foreground. I could ordinarily get the whole painting done in one sitting but more often than not I only have a short window of time.
5×7″ canvas board.
Rolling Up the Carpet #9 (WIP 2)
Today I put the foreground in on this painting. Slopped on as much paint as I could!
8×10″ stretched canvas with gallery edges.
Thunderheads 1 and 2
This is the first one I started yesterday.
And this the second, I did because I noticed my paint was thinner on the first one. I decided to try it again with my palette that had the thicker paint.
Both 6″x 8″ Canvas Board
Which one do you like better and why?
