Canning Time, 12x12


 Number Two in the 'make a comment and enter for a free painting' thing begun in the last post.  All you have to do is make a comment via my blog or my email to be entered.  The more comments you make the better your chances. 

This painting has been shown several times, sold once but the buyer changed to a different one, and then recently resurrected with a few color shifts and additions.  You can see the original version on my website HERE.  I remember when I originally painted it that it was an exercise in using a very limited palette.  The color wheel choices I used are on the back of the painting.

When I adjusted it recently I had just purchased a couple new colors I wanted to try out and thought they gave the painting some subtle nuances it needed.  I was pleased and wanted to share it. 

Summer Plein Air Workshop is coming up.  Two days of painting outdoors with all kinds of good instruction about color mixing, simplification of shapes, design possibilities, outdoor equipment choices, demonstrations and much more.  If you want to learn about color dynamics, plein air is the way to do it.  July 28th and 29th.  Contact the Winslow Art Center for details.

  1. This one seems lighter than the original. I like them both very much. Have fun painting in the thunder!

  6. And it would look great in mine, too. I would have sworn I already commented on this but I don't see it...

  7. I agree. It would look great in my kitchen as well. I also thought I had commented earlier on this post.

    Carol C and I are walking on parallel paths!

  8. Me too. I've commented on all of your posts, but came back tonight and reread. None of my comments seem to be getting posted. A Blogger problem, perhaps?
