Taking the red road...
Piling on the layers, and not just the winter woollies.
This painting has several layers now.
In fact I cannot remember how it began.
This is part of the fun of painting.

This picture can be viewed both ways.
I turned it around for this image.
The canvas has been on a long journey
but today I reached that special moment
when I could finally say 'enough'.
Here are two new paintings.
The under painting is red, then a dark layer on top.
Scraping gently with a squeegee I made swirling marks
revealing the lighter red beneath.
Finally, I gave a whoosh of bright red with a brayer.
High in the Sky

(The wet paint shines a little in my photo)
I used a similar process for this one.
Except I chose a deep yellow for the finish.
I like them both.
In fact I shall leave them alone and
resist the temptation to tamper.
Band of Gold
Oils and cold wax medium on canvas
Two of my greetings cards have arrived 'across the pond'.
They are made on Arches oil paper and mounted on card.
They travelled well with a piece of
baking parchment to protect them.
Thats all for now...
Until next time.
Thank you for visiting.
