I am starting a new painting and if this one is successful in my mind I plan to begin a series. All large scale on gesso'd drop cloth canvas. Here I am applying the second coat of gesso using a roller made for ceilings on a rod. So far I am feeling pretty confident this will work out.

The content of the painting is flora and fauna from around the area in which I live.
Hard to see fine lines but I have an oak and hickory forest in there along with hellebore plants on the left with oak leaves and acorns in brown conte on the right.

I am going experiment with some of the ferns in the backyard. I plan to roll paint onto part of a leaf and try to print it onto the canvas. I'll also start paint in the trees regularly in the background tomorrow and maybe parts of the buck. I want to paint the buck with a piebald coat. I have seen two juvenile piebald white tailed deer in the area and was inspired by their odd beauty. Below is a photo of one I took from last winter I will use for partial reference.

Edit: some of the legs on the buck need widening...

@Oaktavia inspired. way to get after it man

[Oaktavia]

@flannel-slut heck yeah man. Today was a productive one. One the fire is lit, why not feed it?

[Mizmazzle]

@flannel-slut im just remembering seeing this the first time way back when and somehow never commented…did you paint this!!?

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia talented man…incredibly talented.

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle I did (oil on panel board) there was a time I was able to support myself with commissioned portraits and landscapes but desperately needed a consistent paycheck some time after the 08’ housing crash. I still paint but mostly for myself or for friends n family now.

@flannel-slut

Damn, Brennan. Really impressive. So much detail and incredible scale. And here I thought goofy, flannel porn was your primary talent!

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle "goofy flannel porn" and very kind words bud. Definitely something I was very passionate about and still am to this day.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle thanks buddy

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia I look forward to keeping up with this project. Do you have an idea of where you’ll hang the finished pieces? Or will they be up for sale?

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle I'm painting this one to fill wall space in our front room in the house. I'll hang others where I can. I used to show work in galleries in my 20s but lost interest in the schmoozing aspect. I lost contact with all that...

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia you could class up the forums “Buy/Sell” thread!!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle hah I appreciate the enthusiasm but I am wary of soliciting art here.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia probably for the best. Guess some separation of worlds is necessary.

@Palmer very talented man!
