I was originally going to do this as a small painting but thought it would be more impressive as a larger piece.

Painting reflective and translucent surfaces are always a challenge because of the distortions and warped imagery they produce.  Painting chrome is another one. 

 

Detail 2

 

  I like painting these types of surfaces. 

 

Detail 3

 

This painting took some time to do because I had to break down my studio at two different times to have our wooden floors replaced due to a moisture problem which caused a lot of damage.

 

Detail 4

 But I finally got it done!

 

 

Background laid in.

 

When I started this painting I washed in a raw sienna ground for the base over my penciled rough.

3/4's there.

 

This painting was at a good size so I had to do a lot of rotating while using a maul for support.

 

Working on the last 4th.

 

Here I'm working on the final stages.
