Most recent versions of "At the Museum" (36"x18") and "Trees at Night" (24"x20")

June 19th update: I've posted the earlier versions of each painting directly below the newer versions, at the request of Altadena Hiker and Pasadena Adjacent.

I've been working further on the paintings I started recently.

Girl and Boy at the Museum (work in progress)

This is an 18"x18" oil on canvas, that I'm painting from another cell phone photo from my recent trip to Paris, specifically the Musee d'Orsay.

At the Museum

This is a less blurry photo of the painting from my June 8 post.

At the Museum: 36"x18" oil painting in progress

At the right is the beginning of the painting. I've positioned the main shapes on the canvas and the basic color distribution.

At the left is the painting in its present state. I was in Paris this March for a few days and had a two day museum pass. So it was museums morning and night for those two days. This is painted from a cell phone photo I took at the Musee d'Orsay. (In my determination to travel light, I left the camera at home, so I have only a few cell photos of the trip.) It was my first visit to this beautiful museum, a converted train station, that houses much of the artwork of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
