This one will take awhile ... whew!

But it is fun. Several people have already guessed it.

No time to paint today. 

This is a sketch done as a warm-up for painting the other day.

My little figure lost her arm!

From my large sketch book - 17 x 14

Didn't crop this. Ongoing work on Zoom In #7.

Next Zoom In is #7

Zoom In #7 beginning

Zoom In #6 Finished

After Sydney Mortimer Laurence (1865–1940), The Silent Pool

Oil on canvas, 8 x 8"

The limited palette on this Zoom In:

ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow medium, alizaron crimson, white, black.

This yellow is so orange that I could not get the lime green 

that Laurence had for the mid-distance trees and the pool. And I do

not like to use pure black out of the tube, so I added the crimson or the blue

for what I hoped would be a bit of richness.

Zoom In #6 beginning

Wonder if anyone can tell who this Zoom In is after?

Zoom In #5 Rembrandt Finished

Zoom-In of Portrait of the Artist, 8 x 8", oil on canvas

Omg, it is amazing how you can just keep going and going on a painting 

if you don't step away from the easel, and say, I'm done! ... so ... 

I finally said "it is finished." 

AND, appropriately - Rembrandt supposedly did utter, 

"A painting is finished when the artist says it is finished."

I love comments! To do that, go HERE!

Continuing to work on "my" guy.

Back to it...

My Rembrandt zoom-in. Getting more paint down ... 

... aaahh, feels so good to get back to my paints & brushes!

Another very quick session, like 5 minutes...more in a week!

Rembrandt Zoom-In Beginning

Start of my Rembrandt zoom-in -

I actually like it just like this...oh well, we will see

Self-Portrait - my favorite artist

Rembrandt van Rijn

This is my next zoom-in. Love.

LPC finished

S B Pump House, oil on canvas, 12" x 12"

This was fun, however, for the fb challenge, black is suggested in the five "color" choices. 

(The colors are: white, black, ultramarine blue, alizaron crimson, cadmium yellow-medium.)

I prefer to mix my own black and didn't use the tube of black at all in this piece.

On the Easel

...a bit of diversion from my Zoom-In paintings. 

This is the start of another 

Limited Palette Challenge work.

Yes, I did have to do it ... don't most Juneau painters?

I still like "Sandy Beach" by Alexis Roberts Keiner VERY much!

will you won't you

This is very true! Sigh ... and today, I am not goofing off, am
moving boxes getting ready for some remodeling ... and my
studio/laundry room is packed with stuff that I have to joggle
around before there is room to paint again.

LPChallenge warm-up

Airport Windows (tentative title)

Think I am still working on this a bit.

I found a group formed called Limited Palette Challenge on fb.

We can only use:

1. White

2. Black

3. Cadmium Yellow Medium

4. Ultramarine Blue

5. Alizaron Crimson

I have joined and will try some paintings!

While waiting on an order of 8 x 8 canvases, which should be in my hands soon - thought I'd do a sketch of one of my photos and possibly do a painting. This particular photo was actually a reflection caught while waiting at the Austin, TX airport. I turned the photo upsidedown to sketch. 

It brings to mind Mondrian.

Second session

Here is the beginning of my second "zoom-in" painting.

It is a cropped portion of the painting

" _____________'s  _____  ___________"

Can you guess?

Zoom In #1

My idea to "just keep painting" (that I hear in my head every day) is to zoom in 

on a famous painting and paint that little section of it. 

Many people will most likely realize who the famous painter was/is, 

but it will be a fun and interesting challenge for all involved!

Thumbnail sketch

#5/6 Tie - In at Dry Creek

I love to put my paintings in b & w to see if the values are working. 

There seems to be a lot of gray in this one but I think there are enough other light/dark values 

to make it work ok. This is finished. I like it.

Comments?
