Just finished this painting today. It is done on dark purplish suede matboard. Getting green and orange to look natural together was more of a challenge than I thought it would be!
Carolyn, this is beautiful. . . .you have used a secondary palette, and it goes together quite natually----the color is wonderful, and it glows! Aren't you loving that suede matt board?? Really a nice painting.
Welcome to my art blog! This is where I share my explorations and learning experiences in pastel, watercolor and oil painting. I have had this blog for about six or more years. I am currently entering many national and regional juried art shows. I have a website and sell my work from there as well. I started a group called Reno Tahoe Plein Air Painters a year ago and it has grown to about 40 active painters! Each year brings new challenges and exciting opportunities. I have made many friends among other art bloggers and enjoy visiting their blogs. I hope you enjoy your visit here, and click on the links to my website and the plein air painters to see more!
