The ellipse on the face of the clock caused me GRIEF!!!!! The clock was actually turned a bit .... with the left hand side turned back into the picture plane, with the right hand side closer to the viewer. I don't think my painting reflects this...... but since my original blog goal was to post my paintings as they are, ..... unaltered ..... here it is! Any suggestions how to achieve this would be appreciated :)
I am an artist in the Kansas City area. Painting .... particularly plein air painting, is one of my passions. I often use these little studies to complete larger paintings in my studio.
I prefer working directly from life, and use a limited palette of red... yellow.... and blue plus white. Each mixed color contains at least a little of all three primary colors. This simple primary palette brings a natural harmony to a painting.
My paintings are found in private and corporate collections throughout the United States.
I began this blog on August 18, 2008. This journal is about my daily life as a painter. I will post all of my new paintings here ..... and I hope you enjoy watching my growth and following my painting journey.
