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 First Image...
...is of the last of the marsh grass being painted in. The next image is the first layer completed.
Now I will sand it, removing all of the surface texture and as little as possible of the pigment, to prepare it for the next layer of paint.
I'm not sure I can do a better job with the grass, but the detail in the sky and water should greatly improve with another layer.
