The lights are painted in first, that way I can paint the sky and water over them to control their very minute shapes.
From tightly cropped views of the earth at your feet, to sweeping 360º vistas of the horizon line, J.B. Boyd’s oil paintings are meticulously rendered modern updates of the American Landscape tradition. Being a professional vagabond in search of place, this blog will allow you to travel with him and peek into the studio to see the paintings in process.

The Second..
…in the series is the same view, but this time in the darkest of night. The fun part is all the lights dancing along the horizon line.
Every light has a different hue, so included at the bottom of the top photo is my palette, while the bottom photos show my notes for figuring out which lights are which (night exposure photos don’t do well with color balance).
