Doing quick paintings is a good way to practice strong shapes and eliminate superfluous detail. When you do small quickies you need to nail big value and the important design patterns. This was a perfect opportunity for me to practice just that. When I was in Chicago yesterday (delayed flight snafu) Linda took us on a walk at sunset. Now, I am really not a whimp, but it was COLD. SO COLD. By the time we got back to the car it was 10 degrees. The walk was beautiful. I tried to memorize everything through my tearing eyes. This is the best I can do. I think I will do many of these studies to try color combinations to get the glow.
Now if you haven't done it yet, do it now. What do I mean?... Register your name for"the big chew" (as Terri eloquently named it.) My free painting give away. You have till Saturday, January 1, 2011 at 12:01 AM Click on this link to go back to the post and put your name in the hat..
