Owl in Progress

HI, I've painted some today. I put in the background behind the owl using thalo blue, sepia, and ultramarine blue. I looked at the way I had the vine and decided to cut it down a little so I did. I also painted around the vines to the right and am going to make it darker behind the little fellow too,so he stands out. I'm making the leaf bigger that is in front of the wood and still have to figure out how much to do with the wood. Plenty to do on this. I like the blues and quinacrodone burnt orange together so much. Hope you got to paint leisurely today. talk to you soon,Diana

I'd love to hear your comments! Thank you!

New Beginnings ,new painting

I started this painting this afternoon. Just enjoying negatively painting around the vine,so of course when I walked down the road to feed Blackie and Mama B.(The 2 feral cats I feed a block away.)--Rudy,our 18year old cat, is doing fine.-- I had to stop,and pull this lovely vine out of the ditch and come on home. :) I've sketched an owl in the left side of the painting and am going to let the pour be some old wood and vines,similar to the window in the old school house down the road.. Not thinking just painting around the leaves.. with thalo blue and sepia. Tell me what you are painting. talk to you soon, Diana
