Water Wheel

Water Wheel - 12" x 16" oil on aluminum panel

At Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania there is a restored water wheel.  I tried a different painting surface this time, using an aluminum panel.  The initial block-in was done with transparent oxide red.  Some of that underpainting was left to show through. (c) 2016 Charles Snell
