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.

I'm Spending My Days...

A Progression...
...of my latest painting. It starts with the sky painted over the contour line like transfer sketch. Next in the upper right, most of the first layer complete. In the lower left, the second layer of paint minus the marsh foreground is done. Finally the second layer of paint complete in the lower right. I learned something at the very end of this painting, which I am excited to put to use in my next, much larger project.
