Hysteria, an Oil Sketch by Jay Trefethen

Portrait of a Dragon by Jay Trefethen

I’ve been experimenting lately with using unstretched canvas to do sketches that are much larger than what I’m use to. This is my second one. It is a nice change to work large like this. Up until now, my work rarely got larger than 18” X 24,” and is usually more like 11” X 14,” so this is interesting. So far, I think this new technique is working.

I am a self taught artist living in Bradford, Vermont. I build furniture and create woodburning art for a living, and also create oil on canvas paintings. I sell my paintings on eBay as nightairstudios. And I sell my woodburning art locally. You can see my work at the Pompanoosuc Mills showroom in East Thetford.
