I figured out how to photograph purple, a little triumph for me. I only use the yellowish lights I have, the overhead and a couple of yellow lights in my pole lights. I turn off all my daylight bulbs, and voila! I've got purple.

I have rejoined the online gallery of Daily PaintWorks, thinking that the more exposure I can get right now, the better. Of course, there is mighty competition in the gallery also, but we'll see how it goes. This one was originally done by request, but the collector decided to pass, which is perfectly fine.

There's something fun about groupings and multiples that I really like. When there are jumbled groups of things in paintings, I always stop to look. so.... it makes sense to paint some of my own.

Today a small watery landscape, in order to study clouds and rocks, again...two things that I (still) don't feel so confident about in landscape painting. I've seen what painters who paint rocks or clouds really well can do, and it bears constant effort.

This is the second painting I did the other day, and since it was tucked into the blog, it wasn't really seen, and did not sell. I have revised it a little this morning, changed some of the shapes, and refined it in some places.

My niece, Cara, posted a photo from the Colfax Marathon the other day on Facebook, and I liked it for the sky and water. There was a small patch of blue showing thru the clouds, so nice. So this is a practice piece, to see me back into my well-loved oil paints once again.

This one was interesting to paint, since I ran out of white paint half way thru, and had to do my lightening with a tube of pale blue grey. Thankfully I had the sky and the water done with the little bit of white I still had.
