I painted this cedar bench for the Harvest Festival at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY. The theme for September 28 is the Ag Experience: Catskill Farm Experience, so I decided to paint a medieval agricultural scene.
I worked a good three hours every day on this painting! I primed it with white paint, then did an underpainting of the trees, mountains, and fields in acrylics. The details are in oil. I had a lot of fun with this project, and although it was challenging (especially to the knees) to paint slats of wood instead of flat canvas, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do this.
