The Beach House - oil on panel

I should just paint real landscapes in oil. Why do I attempt abstraction. What is wrong with me.

Next, abstract landscapes......heh heh...

Nothing is wrong with you! You are amazing at BOTH!!! ❤️
 
What a vibrant dark that transparent orange over the blue in the lower right corner makes, Martin C! I wonder what color you would get if you mixed those two colors directly?

I'm using brilliant blue and cadmium orange from the Liquitex heavy body series (numbers 570 & 150), and their reflectance only has something in common around 550 nm, centred on green, so I'd guess the result will be a very dull almost achromatic green. I'll test it next time I've got them out!

For some reason, the image I want to post keeps posting upside-down... even if I rotate the original image, save it, then load that, it's still showing as upside-down. And now I can't seem to delete this post. I give up. :)

Trying one. more. time.
