This particular painting was my first plein air painting, which is just a fancy way of saying "I painted it outside" it is about 14"X18" and done in oil, painted with a combination of brushes, knives and rags, the local insects helped as well.





These woods are near Turning Point park in Rochester, NY. I wanted to capture the wonderful dappled light showing through the forest, it was challenging, considering the lighting was changing constantly. I was lucky enough to also have a figure to include, creating a more enjoyable painting .

Great rendering Todd. I think you captured the effect of the sun through the trees very well. I look forward to more posting by you and will link your blog to my site.

Very complex subject matter with changing light, yet the work is striking. Simplification and abbreviation of detail everywhere. Outstanding control of color values. They are exceptionally well organized so that nothing destroys the illusion of light. You have achieved the exact feel of the moment and the picture resonates with anyone who has ever walked through the woods.

How Mr Benjamin Lee service granted me a loan!!!

Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to Mr Benjamin service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organizations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to this funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 5 working days just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advice to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% rate and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact this funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that I am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company who truly gives out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on { 247officedept@gmail.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
