Getting the Colours Right

When I start painting I try to get the paints set up in the right hues on my palette.


This doesn't always go according to plan, in fact, it seldom does.

The colours got too dark and I couldn't see what was going on in the shadows.


By letting it dry and starting with a clean palette, I was able to put on those highlights and clean it up.


I stepped away at this point 
(actually, I believe my son told me it was time to play a game app with him)
 and let it dry again.

The final highlights will come next.

Color!

Did someone say they wanted a painting with color? HOT Pink! available as original or as a Print!  

Tulips

This is one of my favorite paintings. Nobody has bought it yet. It's just 8"x8" but it has so much presence. I think its time that it goes to a nice home.  

Happy New Year!

Another thank you to those of you who supported me last year.  It was a great year and I learned a lot.  Here's to hoping that this upcoming year will be just as good, if not better. Maybe I'll even use a different colour other than pink.
