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.

...studio is starting to feel like home. Probably because it is, well, home. Although I will be moving downstairs once I finish a floor and paint the walls. Video tour to follow... -jb.

This One...
...is getting closer to being finished. Just a stripe of second layer spartina in the foreground to be completed, then a glaze and a varnish once it is fully dry late next week!

This Past Weekend...
...Lauren and I were hosted by the exceptionally talented @june_stratton and her husband Jay. Each morning we woke up with the marsh vistas of Redbird Creek out our bedroom window, and Saturday we explored it by canoe.

I’m Always Painting...
...but not always painting the same painting. This is one that I started at the beginning of 2019, but have only worked on it in an on again, off again fashion. Working this way, I get to take a break from the other thing I have going, or have something to continue on with while the other painting I'm studying dries. You can scroll back in time to see its earlier layers, and the finished product should be up in a week or two once the this one dries enough for a glaze and a varnish.
