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

Death by cadmium yellow lemon • after going in to grab more coffee this morning • I came back to find this #bug on my studio palette (!) I had gotten right back to work and didn’t noticed it right away • then I went to grab some yellow... I’m not too prideful to admit that it made me jump a little and I let out a barely auditable exclamation • I don’t like bugs • 😳😆 : : : #bugslife #studiolife #artstudio #oilpainting #johnkarlclaes #studiopainter #contemporarypainting #ihatebugs #workingartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CPtMteyn83K/?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
