RL Caldwell - Artist

I am pretty excited about these up coming new paintings, I am really pushing myself with creating more atmosphere in my pieces. These two are in the finished tonal layer stage and are ready for some color. I have another painting already started with some Warthogs and a commission to start so I'm not sure which one I'll tackle first. Thoughts?

Work in progress, oil on gessoed maple panel, 35 x 22.

I finished drawing this one out today to take a break from my Warthog painting. This composition has been bouncing around in my head since 2019 when I went Rwanda to visit the Gorillas. I would love to go back there again some day.

It's been a great couple of weeks! These four pieces found their new homes. The best compliment a collector can give an artist is to purchase a painting(s), because it means, "Go and create more."
