Magenta Blossoms - SOLD

Magenta Blossoms
SOLD.

This one is done in acrylics, and I must say the color turned out much more "magenta" looking than the other two in oils.Cooler, more purple.

Sky Study - SOLD


Sky Study
Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12"
SOLD.

Simple study of sky colors. I'm happier with the mixed sky grey for clouds, but it still lacks veiling.
I'll keep working on it. I'm looking for the clouds to overlap, affect each other, rather than to just be different colors.

Detail (Close Up) Below, an enlarged section of the painting above.

Although my cut stems are drooping, my potted tulips are still standing tall.
I'll probably take a break from these tomorrow. Enough tulips for a couple of days.

My tulip bouquet is starting to droop, even with ice in the water.
Which has it's own charm, doesn't it? With glimpses of the interiors, and some deep color.
