#310 All About Pink



Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

This painting was inspired by a DPW Challenge.  Here is the description of the challenge:

Paint subject matter that is limited to a single color, with the exception of one small thing. The challenge is to keep the painting interesting by using a range of hues in that color, and strong value contrast. For example, in my painting I used Cadmium Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow and Cadmium Orange, and created more yellows by mixing in small amounts of red, blue, etc.

I chose pink and nail polish.  It was my first time back at the easel in awhile.  I felt kind of rusty but like how it turned out in the end.

#309 Pear on a Dish


Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)

Took me a few days to get to another pear painting, but I finally finished it yesterday.  I set up the composition last Friday and did a quick value study and underpainting on Sunday.  Then I tackled the color while my daughter was playing at a friend's house Monday.  Lately I've had a hard time getting the motivation to paint in evenings.  I think some of it is that I'm still coming out of a winter slump.  Some of it is just that I'm tired...go figure!
