This afternoon the air was filled with songs of birds and smelled of sweet things growing. The light was diffused and dreamy in the late day sun, and I was lucky enough to see three young deer floating in the orchard. I couldn’t wait to start painting.
Unfortunately, when I unpacked my gear, my yellows were nowhere in site!!!!!! But I soldiered on anyway, using red, orange, indigo, violet and ultramarine blue.

It did change the feel of the painting! I do like the composition and may go out again and paint from the same vantage point--this time with cadmium yellow light and cadmium yellow included with my gear:-)

ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors in this one. See what great things happen from mistakes! The previous painting is very striking. March...it teases us so much. But I'm happy to be teased.
