I am feeling more relaxed and intuitive today. As an aside, I had not done any painting for over a year, ever since I moved here to the island. I missed it, but just never got started.
This has been a grand project to kick my heinie into gear!
Although it may not look it, I actually got a lot done today. The only reason that I stopped is because twice I nearly tipped my brush cleaning tub over into my lap (my space here is very limited)!
I am still working with a very limited palette. Today I added yellow. Which yellow, you ask? Good question!
Let me tell you a little story about my paint supply....before I moved here I squeezed out my paints into two big weekly pill containers. One for warm colors and one for cool colors. Then I got distracted by the move and when the art supplies finally arrived, I had forgotten what they were! Not only that, but I had forgotten an important step in the whole idea of taking the paint out of the tube and storing it in the pill container....it is supposed to be kept in the freezer when not in use.
But believe it or not, they are still good. A bit of a skin on each one but still soft and buttery inside.
I do lack a few colors that would be very helpful with this particular panel, but I will see how it goes. Maybe I can mix what I need.
So enough chatter! Here is day two of my panel:
