Off and running

is a good thing after a long holiday from painting; also near the end of the month, so at least for me, no time to waste! This is going to be a fast year!

A few days ago I started my 20x20 studies; the first is now my leading blog image.....for awhile anyway. I'm limiting these studies to one day on my easel.....I want them loose and fresh.

I'll add Burnt umber and Lamp black to my palette....perhaps quicker than making it myself. Since for me it's all about colour and light, I'm not going to a more subtle key.

882 Pink Satin 20x20 oil on linen (1-26-14)

883 Scarlet Nude 20x20 oil on linen (1-27-14)

Later........
