Painting in process 2 feet x 3 feet

got a late start today on a new painting. Will be a compliment to an earlier painting. First photo is the earlier work -- second photo is with flash and third with natural light. About 45 minutes into this at this point...

Acrylic Painting 24" x 24"

On the left -photographed in the sunlight; on the right - in the shade. What a difference.

Took a number of photos and they all look darker than the painting.

Painting in process 2 feet x 3 feet Acrylic

So far using three colors: UM Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium (Susan Scheewe) and Venetian Red and quite a bit of a very cheap "titanium white" which is hardly even opaque but great for mixing and altering the key of colors. I used two brushes so far- a number 8 bristle and a 1.5 inch painters brush (for the foreground).

The foreground will be fields of flowers ala Redmond Granville - the key will be to put a few things in the distant valley that give perspective.

Moving along a bit.

Acrylic 2 feet x 3 feet

New project. 2 feet x 3 feet, acrylic. Inspired by a painting done by Elmer Wachtel about 80 years ago. Quick pencil sketch to get the landmarks and positioning. And then some initial colors.

In process - about 60% completed. It's a take off of a watercolor painting of Marion Wachtel (1876-1954).
