#241 French Light

Painted for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, The Light/Shadow Challenge.  The photo reference was taken by Carol Marine in France.  I was pretty intimidated to try this painting, but I'm pleased with how it turned out!

#189 The Opal Experiment #190 Oklahoma Walk

I struggled with both of these paintings this weekend.  I wiped my first attempt with the opal apple yesterday afternoon and then tried it again last night.  I was hoping it would be a little looser but I ended up wiping off the green paint and going a little darker with that color and it took away the freshness of the edges and strokes.  I had never painted a golden apple.  It was hard to get the shadow side the right value and color.

I painted this scene from a photo I took a couple of years ago while I was walking on OU's campus.  I painted it for a friend.  I actually painted this exact scene back in 2015 when I was first learning to use acrylic paint.  Though it isn't where I want it to be, I can definitely see growth and that is encouraging!  Here is the original painting I did.

#180 Yellow Clock Tower

6x6 inch oil

Not sure how I feel about this one.  It's light years away from what I hope to one day be able to do.  How do you keep buildings loose?  That was hard. The photo reference was just so so and a little dark for painting.  But I took it while my husband and I were walking on the OU campus just a couple of weeks ago, so it is still somewhat fresh in my mind.  I was drawn to the beautiful yellow light shining through that narrow passage way.  I think it would be cool to come back to this photo in a couple of years and hopefully see all kinds of improvement.
