BLOG about PAINTING

(posted on 21 Mar 2014)

We've just installed a new exhaust fan in the studio, and I'm very slowly trying out painting again. I'm hoping and praying that this time, it will be OK. (If I get a migraine with this set-up, I'll have to finally accept that I can no longer paint with paints.)

It's still too cold to do field paintings, so I've gone back to doing colour studies. Using the star pieces from last fall as underpaintings, I'm just throwing around colour to see what happens.

This one is waaaayyyyy too busy, but maybe it will lead somewhere.

This one is a bit more promising.

And, finally, who knows what's happening with this one. I'm having fun with spring colours - colours that I never get to paint in nature.
