Re-post from May 2012
Thank you for still paying me a visit and commenting.
The incredible painter Abby Ryan came up with the the
Daily Paintworks Challenge this week. The Yellow Challenge
Abby asks the question - what does yellow mean to you?
Easy - sunshine, happiness and feeling good.
This time I thought I would see what it was like to explore fracturing
with painting the lemons in water.
YELLOW
My palette was:
Titanium white
cad yellow light
Naples yellow
Indian yellow
Light red
viridian
Transparent brown oxide.
I put some yellow in every color I mixed.
This painting is so gentle, comforting. Love it..and then there is a bit of sparkle for me. yes indeed. I am so happy you are enjoying your vacation. I am trying to restart my engine. We will see...
