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 Colors...
...for my second layer on this painting are spread out on the palatte below the easel. To the left with a brush for each color are the water tones, while the ice flows get one brush for every three shades on the right.
