minimal landscape
I painted this one yesterday in one shot. I never intended it to be this minimal, but something is telling me to stop. This photo was taken under studio lights, unfortunately. It’s been a dark and rainy week here. Colors used: Italian yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, burnt umber and titanium zinc oxide. All Williamsburg brand paints.

oil study on paper
I tried a new product today… a paper made by Arches that is for oil painting. I enjoyed it and look forward to trying more with it. My only slight problem with it is that you can’t wipe paint off completely like you can with gessobords. The paint soaks into the paper.

Alaska Wilderness Lodge 9″ x 12″
My husband and I had a wonderful trip to Alaska. I’ve been doing a lot of new paintings based on photos I took there.
Initial block in
A few stages of the painting.
The whole study was done in about an hour. The usual palette was used and the gessobord was coated with a dilute mixture of cadmium vermillion and sevres blue (which was dry before I began the painting). This gives a nice warm undertone that shows through.

prairie and tree at dusk 6″ x 6″
Based on a photo of a single tree (not sure what kind) in the middle of the prairie (see photo below). The sky is from my imagination. The same palette as yesterday was used. We had a glorious afternoon hiking in this preserve last weekend : )
by the huge oaks 6″ x 6″
palette: cadmium yellow light, quinacridone magenta, cadmium red vermillion, ultramarine blue, sevres blue and white. Initial warm tone of vermillion plus some sevres blue (applied as a wash). This one was not quick like yesterday’s. I had to scrape a lot off at one point because I was painting too many details.
