Meadowlawn Morning

8"x10" oil on RayMar panel, painted en plein air, alla prima, on September 8th (completed at 10:30am)...$85 including shipping....This was a rather interesting painting being somewhat of an experiment. I had pre-toned the panel using random areas of ultramarine blue, yellow ochre with alizarine crimson designating the focal point which was the stand of trees in the upper left. In the actual painting, my palette consisted of yellow ochre, indian red, prussian blue and white. I may have used a touch of ivory black in the greens. Using a limited palette in the toning process, then using another limited palette in the final painting is something I'll explore further.

The reds, yellows and orange pigments in this painting seem to give a warmth all their own.

The reds, yellows and warm browns on my palette seemed to be shouting for a space on the canvas. I don't paint many abstracts, but just working on this one made me feel warm.

I was told that any good artist could produce an acceptable painting using only the colors red, yellow, black and white. At first I was doubtful, but I accepted the invitation to try.

How do you get green without using blue ???

Painting with a limited palette is indeed challenging but it stretches creativity. And I would invite anyone to try at least one painting using only these colors.

Maybe next time I'll try using only brown, black and white.
