A couple to get me on my feet again.

[Enyaw]

11 x 14 inches .. oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted Aug 09/24 .. been in sick bay again but hopefully on my way out of it again. I had a small 6 x 8 study and decided to see if I could bring any sense to it. Took out four colors and let go at it. I thought I said well what the study implied so I put it on the shelf.

Still had a few puddles of paint so I decided to rub over and older landscape and see if I could inject any life into it. I was happy with the end but then again I was just happy to be back on my feet and painting again. I just took the paint and applied it liberally where I thought paint was needed. Very liberating to just be slap happy.

Love the flowers. The colors work great together.The landscape is very nice.

 

[Donna T]

Hooray for you being slap happy and feeling well enough to paint again! These are both so gorgeous, Wayne! Those four colors made a beautiful palette for both the still life and the landscape. What red is responsible for the red-violets?

 

[Enyaw]

Thanks Queen and Donna.
Donna, I use QuinMagenta. The other colors were lemon yellow, ultramarine blue, burnt umber, and of course Titanium white.

 

[Donna T]

Ah, quinacridone magenta does make beautiful red-violets. I would have guessed that is Indian yellow but I have much to learn about oils. Thanks Wayne!

 

[Terri]

These are both lovely - I always enjoy your skill in using the same palette for such different subjects. Fun! I'm glad you're feeling better.

Those flowers are exceptional.

 

[Enyaw]

you are welcome Donna. Indian Yellow is an expensive color and I seem to like it more for the high high lite of snow or light and I especially like it with blues as it makes beautiful dark greens that shimmer in the dark.

Thank you Terri ... color is such a drag along you can get lot of mileage out of mixing puddles and letting them intermix on the support.
