The Daily Paintworks Challenges are fun to work on, so here’s another one for the Color Challenge. I’m using a split compliment scheme (traditional color wheel).

This composition is easy and allows me to focus just on the color arrangement.

I’ve also used sgraffito here to provide a bit of whimsical detail.

The winter blues are over…I feel like painting again. Soon I’ll be painting outside again.

I’ve been asked to offer a painting workshop, which I am thinking about. If you are are interested in learning to paint in oil on claybord, use my contact form to let me know.

While lazing around Avery Park awhile ago, I studied the patterns of trees in the main field. Trees which bend and grow diagonally often create interesting compositions. Color is irrelevant; make it whatever supports the composition.
