The Hunter - Oil on 8 x 10 Canvas Panel


No Longer Available


The Hunter – Hunting in tall grass. Those of you interested in photography will understand what I’ve attempted to do here. For those of you who don’t, I’ve pictured “The Hunter” in a supposed narrowed the depth of field. Having never tried this before with oil paints, it was a real challenge compared to doing it with a camera. The challenge was to blur the foreground while leaving the background or face crystal clear and still show some of the image through the blurred area, much like the camera would do. I learned a lot here and will apply that knowledge to the next one of this type I try. Your comments are welcome.
