Primroses
With a limited palette of one cool and warm color from each of the primaries, the awareness today is remembering the different characteristics of opaque and transparent color and the realization of how the same quality is exhibited in zinc and titanium whites.
I had a better experience with the paper on this one and begin to see some advantages to the support.
While the painting is not what I’d call finished, I say it’s good enough. My favorite sister’s husband of almost sixty years died very unexpectedly today and my heart is heavy for her and not in the work.
