History reading 9"x12" oil on canvas

When working with a busy, colorful subject I like to create color harmony by using the color palette all over, meaning that what colors are in the subject I also put in the background and when a different color is in the background I like to put it in other areas and also on the subject in some way.

The Emu Dress 14"x16" pastel on paper

I got out all my paints and then decided to do a drawing instead.  She is wearing a vintage dress with feathers on the bottom and we decided they were from an Emu.  It just felt right to do a drawing instead of a painting for some reason.

Between dances 12"x16" oil

When Liz showed up I asked her to choose something out of the costume closet.   I think she chose well.   It was a challenge to paint all of the dark and make them distinct as well as loose.   Another challenge was the warm light on one side and the cool north light on the other.

Starry Midnight Blue 11"x14" oil

My two favorite things about this painting are the colors in the background and the red henna hair against the green/blue background.
