Another rough and tumble floral tonight, as I ran around all day, and didn't have much time to really think too much about it, just painted. In spite of that, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

I was able to find an old canvas to do a palette knife painting on. If you click on the image to see it larger, you can tell how highly textured it is. I love the lavender and turquoise in there.

Today I used up an old canvas that never went anywhere, and did this with a palette knife.
You can see some of the texture if you enlarge this one.

It used to look like this:

I had one more little canvas to use today, while we are snowed in again in the DC area. I had bought a couple of polka dot dishtowels at Tuesday Morning the other day, so thought I'd try something with dots. Fun with the pitcher in the background.

This is a revision, much improved, of the painting from a couple of days ago. It holds together better now.

A very simple landscape, but done with the beautiful colors of winter. Subtle red browns, ochres and mauves, some of my favorites, even though I don't love winter. Thanks for looking.

I wanted to try using the same reference photo again today (as yesterday), and make the painting a little less rambunctious, a little more controlled, without loosing the swish.
And oh, I'm happy with how this one turned out.
Detail (Close-Up) Below:

The detail photo is more true to the colors in the painting.

Pre-Mix Palette
And a Detail (Close-Up) Below:

This one is for the challenge this week at DPW, which is to pre-mix colors for the painting you are doing, and then simply apply them, without blending and mixing on the canvas. At least that's how I'm understanding it. Which is why I've shown a photo of my palette, with all the pre-mix colors. You can see the rest of the challenge entries here.

I got some odd sized canvases on half price sale, and thought the 8" x 8" would be perfect for anothertea cup painting.

Hill Top Pines - SOLD

Hill Top Pines
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $35 plus $8 shipping.

I wanted to see what would happen if I used really intense colors in a landscape, and this doesn't even look bad. (That's a really blue sky.)  It might be my lights. I have two daylight bulbs and one yellow bulb shining on my easel, and now I'm thinking that maybe that's just too much light. Often my paintings look washed out, so this is interesting.

Daffs - SOLD

Daffs
Oil on Canvas Panel, 12" x 9"
SOLD at $22 plus $8 shipping.

A quick version of the impressionistic daffs.

And I thought this might be fun to show you. I have three "couples" of cardinals that come to my feeder, but it's not often that I see all of the males at the same time. And... a sweet little chickadee.

Today the sun came out, and made lovely shadows all thru the woods.
Lots of melting and dripping, since it went up into the forties.
