Well, there's painting going on but it's the kitchen not my homework. I'm not sure that I like the blue...it's awfully blue. On the other hand, it makes the room feel cool and me feel calm looking at it. And it does look nice against the yellow walls in the living room and hall.
OK, back to work...

Week 4 - Composition
It's been a long time since I've painted anything that wasn't three-dimensional. I've been having fun smooshing paint around and trying out gel medium. Artist's acrylics are much more vibrant and have more body than the craft acrylics I usually use.
I'm not sure what to paint this week...I'm thinking of a still life, since I haven't done one yet. I'll check and see what's in the kitchen to paint.

Just askin'
Did anyone accuse Micheangelo of hoarding marble? Monet of hoarding oil paints? Why the bad rap for knitters? We don't hoard yarn; we see the potential in every skein and ball.

Week 3 - Red Leaf Color Match
Week 3 - Red Leaf Color Match, originally uploaded by toadncat.
This was the easiest color to match. Mostly red with a little blue and yellow. And a little white.
The leaf is from the heavenly bamboo (nandina) in our yard. I love the color of it! It seemed really bright true red, until I tried to match it. Then I could see that although there was a bit of yellow/green at the base, the red had some blue in it.
