Spring’s Gifts, 2021 • oil on panel • 30 x 36 • a painting that has evolved slowly over the last eight or nine years (!) • it has gone through so many iterations I’ve lost track • there were many times where I couldn’t find a way to keep working on the painting • therefore it sat in the corner of my studio for long periods of time • I thought about destroying it many times • it didn’t look anything like it does now • I’m glad I didn’t get rid of it • : : : #contemporaryart #landscapepainting #contemporarypainting #johnkarlclaes #slowpainting #abstractlandscape #contemporarylandscape #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoaEc3HtwR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Purchased this @m.grahamco paint 25(!) years ago • opened it today for the first time in decades and the paint was perfect! I’ve always loved M. Graham paint - Why didn’t I use it before now? 🤷‍♂️ I’m going to use it today 😁 : : : : #oilpaint #studiolife #contemporarypainting #johnkarlclaes #mgrahamoils #oilpainting #artstudio #painting #paintingstudio #workingartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBi8-nHBYi/?utm_medium=tumblr
