"Family Gathering" 8" x 8". oil

The family is gathering for another celebration.   There is Grandma, the matriarch with her daughter, son in-law and her two grandchildren.  Then there is crazy cousin Eddie who is just in from the Himalayan mountains.  He loves pink.   Now who was supposed to bring the green bean casserole?

Study in Green 6"x6" oil

Here is the second one in my Study of Color series.   Inspired by Liz Wiltzen's blog post about using vivid color to flex your value muscle, I painted a second one using all green.    The palette I used was Titanium white, lemon yellow, Cad yellow medium,  Cad red light, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine blue, Thalo blue and Burnt Sienna (Winsor Newton).   I believe you can achieve great greens by mixing from yellows and blues and in fact get a better variety.   However looking at this now it looks like I used sap green... go figure.

On the left is a b&w photo of the painting and on the right is the b&w photo of the setup.   So you can see the comparison.

Oh sunny day! 6"x6" oil

Finally we had a sunny day!   Yea!!  You know folks, I have lost my Muse.   Yes, it has been serious.   I have not been inspired to paint anything for the past 6 weeks.   And when I paint it is a struggle.   However, today one of my students brought in some sunflowers to paint and they looked so fabulous I decided to paint them.   So here is my effort.  I must say that my students did a fabulous job on their paintings of sunflowers!
