Where does the week go? Only one day left of a fantastic week painting painting painting. Below is a black and white of a completed painting- forgot to take a colour for you. Check back on the weekend to see that. It has a little more juicy colour than might be usual for me. Simplified more than usual for my meadow pictures. The trees are collected into one shape. I'm sure you'll know they are trees. At the area called the Narrows, the old white pine guards the path. Beyond the space widens again to reveal some of the hilly nature of the area.

I've been using a rolling line through the sky so I can use two delicious blues in that area. Now you'll want to come back and see what I think is delicious blue :D

In the foreground, you'll see why Kandinsky thought that yellow was the psychoactive colour rather than red red orange. In that area, the colours are all the same value (lightness or darkness) as you can see in the black and white photo, but the yellow is very noticeable. It is not a bright yellow just as the blues and greens are not bright, but you will see how noticeable the yellow is.

See ya later??
