Beginning


Early stages of a new painting. Lights and dark areas are roughed in although I am undecided as to the floral arrangement for this painting. I like the diagonal design of the light shining through the window. I wanted a dark background for this one so as to emphasize the color in the flowers.

New Projects


I'm planning a few new paintings in the coming days. A new mountain landscape, Seascape, and one which I have a quick color sketch previewed. In these quick studies I am not stressing detail, but establishing dark and light values in the painting. I am using a combination of Hookers green and cadmium Red for the darks. I plan to use a fairly intense red for the lower third of this painting.
