Lovely! 🌷

Thanks, Wayne. I normally mix my own blacks but am doing some black testing here.

Anne, that's a good point! Thanks for sharing! 🙏 I might do more testing with the blacks by bringing Marsh black to this etc. I was just thinking if other approach could be glazing but that's a long process and I'm more favor of alla prima with the challenges.

Anne & Jade, thank you! The bg color is burnt umber so it sets a little bit to the orange side. I used ivory black (from rembrant) to the squirrel so it got quite black but I mostly mixed it with blue and where I saw reddish tone I mixed with cad red. This was a test and result is: I can't see...

It's great to have, helps me with my asthma and cold weather, of course. Cat likes it! Always sleeps there.

Sauna helps here keeping warm.

Thanks, Joy!

Liz, thanks!

WOW 💐 lots of style.

This squirrel is painted with oil paints on canvas paper. 6x8 in. I'm photographing in dark so the photos won't turn out that well. We have many cloudy days ahead so there won't be possibilities to take better photo. I enjoyed painting this 🐿️

This still life is very refreshing and has a promise of summer.

Special painting. Beautiful. I like a lot the greys. It's amazing how the flowers show/jump from the background. 🤩

Anne, beautiful work!

Sno, thanks! I'm happy with this support bc l have too many paintings stored already and don't really have space for more. So, pizza box is just fine for these. Joy, thank you! Triduana, thank you. Jade, yes I added the last one just 5 min after the first ones. Thanks!

I've been doing the same from last year on. Trying to buy less art materials and reuse supports what I have already. It can get crazy expensive.
