Tulip time!

Spring Fav      oil on canvas panel      7 x 5 inches

This was "finished" a few weeks ago
but it was too dark (still is, probably)
so I added some highlights and it brightened up.

Process below:

my small panel holder

block-in

Mixed some Yellow-Jacket nest paper (yep) with oil paint and smashed it on

It is crocus time here in SE AK, 

but tulip time lots of other places. 

Our front yard is clear of snow - finally!

Leaving again for a trip so no posts again for a bit.

I am going to take my gouache paints 

to mess around with

and little sketch easel 

that my hubby made me.

When next I post it should be about our

Salon Challenge #4!

Thanks for checking in and ... as always,

Happy painting!
