Today's Painting

I've just enjoyed a wonderful week and Easter Sunday with family.  I live over 3 hours from my siblings, daughter and long-time friends.  I love the area that I live in, but deeply miss them.  I'm getting my paintings ready to be framed for the Portage Hill Gallery.  After May 4-  http://www.portagehillgallery.com/

Today's painting will be there, unless it sells very shortly.  It's available now at http://www.freshpaintdailypainters.com/ 
Got caught in a pretty active lighting storm yesterday, very glad I was not driving.  Thunder followed and I could only think about my poor Mini-Schnauzer, Cooper shivering under my bed because of his fear of thunder.  I also adopted a 9 lb. snoodle, who could care less.  Cookie thinks she's a trained German Shepherd working for the police!  Back to the easel. - Brande

Every time I see her latest collection on YouTube, I am awestruck at how pure the background color is.  So I wanted to try my hand at upping background color value in my work.   Below is how I started: Hay Maze Start Here, I establish the main layout and gesture of this piglet's face.  I'm striving for something that looks painterly, yet would bring a smile to the face of the viewer, so this stage is important.  Also, color values on the pig are being set.   Hay Maze about halfway This is where I put that rich background color in.  Notice some neutral colors in with the bright.  I wouldn't want all bright green here as it would be like all caps when texting.  I'll re-post the final Hay Maze below: Lots of changes from the halfway point, ...

Little Dee, No.1

Little Dee, No. 1 - Oil on Canvas, 2 x 2 inches with Easel $20.  Buy with Paypal This is an experiment  to force myself to say more with less.  Painting with less brushwork because I have to!  Also, I don't paint on canvas, so I have to get use to that.  But I am having fun.
