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.

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.

Since I started with DPW, I have veered every day more towards asking "What do I think might sell?"
I had some good luck with a couple of auctions, and have gotten tensed up, trying for another "winner" Not a good way to paint. A couple of folks sent suggestions, and I appreciate that. I am going to try to:

• only paint what I want to paint, regardless of whether it might sell
• not repeat myself unless someone asks
• slow down (a suggestion from a collector)
• branch out and experiment (another suggestion)
• work smaller, and do more watercolors (another suggestion)

Thanks to those of you who sent ideas for me to get re-inspired.
This is a loose and sketchy impression looking out my window, with snow predicted tonight.
