Palms - Bill Alexander

Dirk1968 25 Oct 2023

This is one of Bill's paintings that I've had on the list for a long time. Today was the day of the days to start. I would like to say, not one of the easiest.It was a real game of patience.Many small trunks, many leaves and extremely small parts, especially on the small canvas that I prefer. I've adjusted some things and i hope ,I could still capture the character of the picture and you like it. So here it is, my version of Bill Alexander's "Palms". Totally fresh from 30 minutes ago.

Canvas 24 x 30 cm (9.45 x 11.80 inch) 2 x white Gesso, grinded 240/400, liquid white, Time 4 Hours
The second picture below is after 2 days of drying
