New Brighton Beach 2

I took a second run at this subject. I wanted to pull the values together better, and had a plan to make the trees show some depth.

Also painted this with study and canvas on it's side. Thanks S.P.Goodman

The first study I did didn't have as much variation in the three trees. I'm sure that if I'd been thinking variation I would have actually observed it.

I really enjoy painting these colors, Red, Yellow, and Black.

Aspen Trees

The thin Aspen trunks were what looked interesting to me. I found a pallet knife edge worked best to make the thin lines of color.

Field Sunflowers 2

Color is still the most fun thing about painting. One thing I'm trying to do is see the color in shadows, and also to keep the colors in harmony.

Yaquina Bay Bridge

I discovered a mix of color for the pines that was very enjoyable to use, burnt umber and blue with a little white.

Started today painting first, then doing my job. It helped the day go better and I have something to post too.
