So Close . . .

"Blueberry Bowl"
 approximately 6" x 6"

"Cookies and Milk"
approximately 8" x 10"


Ugh . . . I'm so close with 3 of my paintings.  I just need to finish and get them over to DPW for auction!!  Gaaaahhhh!  And these aren't the best snapshots -- I don't know, they look a little washed out to me, but I just wanted to get them up to prove I haven't been totally slacking.  Have a Happy Friday!

  2. Thanks for sharing the progress shots! I can see you have softened edges within some blueberry shapes but haven't gotten to some of them yet -- it's like a small window perking into your process. It's so interesting to me!

    I love the muted blue-purple-cyan colors on the wall paper of "Milk and Cookies". What colors did you use to mix them? They are simply gorgeous colors!!!

    1. Thank you Arena . . . I can't say for sure what colors I used, but I always start with cobalt blue, alizarin crimson and new gamboge. Lots of times those along with burnt sienna are the only colors I use. When I start dipping into different ones, I get into trouble. But if I do use others, I do it carefully and sparingly. So as far as the blue background colors -- there may be an ultramarine or winsor blue green shade in there. But mainly it's cobalt and alizarin.
