Wonderful muted winter colors in this one and a very moody feel for me too. Was this also a black and white reference, Wayne?

I'm glad to hear you're safe!

Color and value are hard for me to mentally separate. I’ll bet this way lets you use color more as a design element too, as in an eye-catching red boat.

I really like this, Wayne! You must be very comfortable painting boats living where you do.

Thanks Wayne and Terri! Waxed paper (freezer paper) is what I have so I’m glad it’s ok to use it. Great tip about the felt sliders, Terri!

I’m getting ready for a cross-country move and my art supplies are mostly packed. I have several oil paintings on paper and a few on panels that need to be packed up. Is it ok if I put wax paper between them to prevent them from sticking together or should I use parchment paper? I know that...

There you go with invented colors again - and they work very well. Nice nostalgic feeling with this one.

Outstanding! Beautiful work on the cat, especially the life-like eyes!

Super chilly! I have a feeling you’re liking these B&W inspirations. The touches of sunlight keep it from feeling oppressively cold.

I’m sorry to hear it’s so difficult to get oil painting supplies in Indonesia. Would it be possible to do watercolors or gouache instead? Any plein air time is so worthwhile so I hope you don’t give up on the idea. 17,000 islands are a lot of potential painting views!

I would never know you used a black and white reference - the colors are completely natural. It’s a beauty, Wayne!

Welcome! I hope you’re happy to be doing art again.

Thank you for such a lovely comment, Pine Cone.

I think you solved the problem! These are beautiful! I like how they have sharper edges but still look like prints with unexpected surprises here and there. Martha Z. Is quite an artist - wow!

These are so nice! Both show off your style so well but I really like the skier. Sounds like you had a great time!
