Murray Grey in Progress - 1st Pass

I've become a little bolder about showing my work in progress, and since this particular painting is probably going to take some time, I thought I'd try it again. I've got four days into the big cow so far, and each of these images reflects one days work. Now that I have a full under-painting done, I'm going to set it aside to dry before I begin the second pass. While it dries, I'll be working on a new set of ebay paintings which I'll be posting possibly as early as Monday. I'll have to see how it goes. I plan to continue photographing the progress of this piece to it's conclusion.

  1. I know what you mean: I'm bashful about showing my works in progress, also, but I personally love to see how other artists do things.

    Love the cow so far!

  7. Nice Cow! Each stage is absolutely beautiful! Unfinished or finished! If I were ever to purchase a cow painting, I'd want no other than this!

  8. Thanks everybody. It's a little un-nerving for me to post images of paintings in progress. I never know when I start if it's going to work or just fall apart somewhere along the way. Hope this effort concludes with a satisfactory painting. Neil

  21. n the ninth chapter, the author extrapolates this problem at the national level and reveals that the large capital controls the entire nation. In the tenth chapter, she attempts to reconsider the policies conducted by the ruling elite and raises ethical issues to reveal the injustice of the existing social system and to develop alternatives.get essay writing services
