Alan Spring 3-2026


I worked on this little sketch I made while waiting for the Yupo to dry. It’s just a sketch but I need to find a different background color. This is the third one so far. 5 X 7 on hot press. Don’t really like hot press. 




I spent a little more time on this self portrait on Yupo. I think it’s done unless I want to add more lines to my face. 


Finished the barrel painting on Yupo. I thought that it was the perfect medium for this. I finally got the technique for painting the reflected leaves down. Made it more fun than work. 



Back to 140# Rough for this painting of a corner of New Buffalo. Even though it’s structurally precise, I’m going to try to paint as loose as I can.

    Love the barrels. No need to do anything more to that self-portrait. It's fine as it is! Maybe a light orange or coral for the floral background? It's analagous and would bring out the center of the flowers, complement the vase and contrast with the petals and leaves.
