| new start on the left, 'White Roses' acrylic on right |
The 'White Roses' next to it, is an acrylic painting I completed in January. You can see I'm still on a similar theme, but I was hankering to get going with my oils again. I love the softness and subtleness of colour, that oil paint allows me for blending. Since it's warm enough outside now to open windows, there's no reason not to use my oils. Although I work with odourless mineral spirits, I'm big on making sure I ventilate when working in oils.

| 'Pub Door' - no more! ha ha |
I started this one over a previous painting 'Pub Door' that I was sick of looking at. I had showed it several times and it had never had any interest, so figured it had lived a good life. Besides, I like working on top of an older painting for the dimension it provides as an under-painting.
Usually I create a warm ground, but this time I picked thalo blue to cover it, wondering if it would aid the subtle white shifts that I wanted.

You handle 'white' so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteDaisies, roses, whatever...it is your eye for all the subtle colors in the white which makes them special
Glad you are back on your blog.
Julie, thank you for your kind thoughts. White's are always a challenge, but rather a fun one, dont you think?!
DeleteCongrats on your sale, Sally, and as always, I love your roses!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Laurie, and leaving me a note, it's always so nice to have art friends give a little feedback.
DeleteLOVE the flowers Sally! Congrats on the sale. Nice to see you painting again - and as beautifully as ever!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy!
DeleteI'm kind of on a bit of a flower kick these days, we'll see how long it lasts. Painting is slowing down with all the upheavals and other things to do, but life is like that sometimes...it will surely settle down again too, and there will be more time to let the paintings flow. Have a great time in New York!
whoops I forgot to say thank you! nice to have your comment:)
