"Orange House Sunrise" 10x10 oil

Experimenting with color and technique.   The house was a light shade of orange so I used a double complementary scheme, orange/blue and yellow/purple.   The colors I used were  Thalo blue lake and a mixed orange( quinacridone magenta and Cad yellow pale) , with Cad yellow pale and ultramarine violet. I needed a violet mixture for the roof and foreground walkway shadows.

Saint-Paul asylum in Saint Remy France 8"x10" oil

Sold

Saint-Paul Asylum is where Vincent Van Gogh stayed for a year from May 1889-May 1890 as a self-admitted patient.   During much of his stay he was confined to the grounds where he made paintings of the garden, olive trees, views from his window and of course the irises.   I took this reference photo when I visited in 2007.

Balcony 6"x8" oil

Sold

This balcony at St Simons Island caught my attention.   I love the shadow is on the wall but it really changed fast, I had to paint in the shadow first and leave it.   As I was driving down the street I had my paintings in the back window area and the wind  from the windows blew this one face down on the back seat floor.  Oops!
