This is my finished painting using the "limited" pallette of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, and Ultramarine Blue, plus Titanium White. It was more of a challenge than I expected since I really wanted to put in the bright, vivid colors of the fall landscape. This was impossible because of the Yellow Ochre--it muted every mixture I tried.

Even so, the trip up to the waterfall is gorgeous any time of the year--this is a reminder of just a piece of the vigorous hike up!

Beginning of 18" x 24" Limited Pallette Painting

I'm using the limited pallette of Yellow Ochre, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, and Titanium White on this painting! I really am wishing I could use additional-brighter-colors for this beautiful fall scene. But I have to trust the "process" and stick with just the four tubes of paint. Mixing them doesn't seem to give me anything much brighter either. Trudging on to "completion".

My Newest Painting-"Look Out Below"

"Look Out Below"
9" x 12" Oil on Canvas

As I was out painting, I heard all the neighborhood dogs suddenly start barking at the same time, and then a loud sound that I immediately recognized from the past as a hot air balloon. As it emerged from behind the trees where I could actually see it, it looked as if it would land on the neighbors roof! Well, it didn't, it just kept lowering until it disappeared behind the trees again. This is my interpretation of the scene.
