great blue — 6″ x 6″
Most of the orange grasses in the background were made by scratching through the paint (sgraffito) back to the orange undertone. I also scratched through in the water in several areas. My new favorite palette now is: titanium zinc white, cadmium yellow hansa (or light), cadmium red vermillion, quinacridone magenta, phthalo blue (new – I eliminated sevres blue), and ultramarine blue. I like the simplicity of just 5 colors plus white.

A Great Blue Heron hunting. Photo included. I got a bit more wild with the colors : )
Don’t miss the white egret on the right. He kept moving away from the Great Blue.
Two Versions of Fall

This version was painted over and ended up as the following (which I think I also painted over).
I will use them as studies for a larger piece, perhaps.
