Day 5 (30-in-30)

9/5/2014

5 Comments

 
Soo... I am now one sixth of the way through the challenge.  With 25 paintings to go, I found myself thinking "what was I thinking" (PS - I also have a day job!).  I guess it's called a challenge for a reason.  Complaining aside, painting daily has been quite refreshing once I actually get myself to the easel.  And so, I will continue...

Todays painting is based on yet another scene from northern Ontario near my parents cabin (on a lake known as Moose Lake).  I used a limited palette of titanium white, ultramarine violet, dioxazine purple, and permanent green light (Golden Acrylics).  While not quite compliment colours, I love the neutrals created by the purples and permanent green light. Very calming.

Well done, Kathy! Ontario is so beautiful and you've done well with this painting! Very mellow and calming!

(I used to visit Ontario a lot before they made it so you can't get across the border without a passport. The US Border Patrol is especially aggressive. So my wife and I haven't visited in years, though we're neighbors here in Buffalo).

Keep up the great paintings!

Thanks so much Robert. Yes the border is pretty stringent these days! New York is also a beautiful state.
Cheers!
Kathy
