Winter Yellow and Spring Green was painted on location in Ruidoso, NM. The dried grass is a beautiful yellow with hints of amber and gold. Such a nice contrast with the green juniper and purple hills. I tried the clayboard again. It dries fast, especially out doors. What I like is that it forces me to paint fast and loose. I haven't quite mastered that either, but I do like the expressive strokes. I used a limited palatte and a 5x7 Gorilla Thumbox. It is aptly named - I felt like I was all thumbs painting with it. I don't give up easily so will try it again.

Liquid Refreshment is the first painting in a week. We are settled in New Mexico for the summer and I finally have my paints unpacked. It is too cold and windy to go outside so will do some studio paintings in the meantime. I was curious to see if I could paint ice cubes. I put in lots of ice and as they melted the colors kept getting richer. Click here to bid at auction at Daily Paintworks

Red Lily is another study in color harmony. I bought some for my Easter decoration and was going to try to paint the bouquet. Since I'd never painted a lily I decided I had better do one first before attempting the bouquet. Click here to purchase at auction.

Study in Green and Lavender is another study in color harmony. You may not know this but lavender class is what happens when a glass bottle is exposed to the elements over decades. Back in the days before trash pickup, farmers and ranchers would have their own trash pile. The bottles would age in the sun to a beautiful lavender. Those not used for target practice have made it to the antique stores. I love the patina.
