Painting #257 - My friends who call their home, Rainbow Ridge Ranch sent me this picture of a baby moose they saw on their property. I though he/she would be fun to paint. I didn't use my new process for this one.

Painting #256 - Still experimenting. Did I mention that I'm using a whole new palette of single pigment paints? I'll continue to trust the process! Just wondering ... should I bring my edges in closer to the tree?

Painting #255 - I'm just continuing on this journey. I don't mind this painting. I think my leaves look rich.

Painting # 254 - I will have to be patient with myself as I learn this new process. I forgot to mention in my last post that I'm only using single pigment paints too. WHAT - no more mixing paints!! I use a layering process. I've always glazed but this is much different .... its that "subtracting the light" thing!

Painting #253 - I'm trying something new - its called "subtracting the light". Its very challenging because I have to plan out my whole painting before I begin. I would call myself an intuitive painter so this is very different for me. I admire David Langevin's work and I read his blog about his process. I'm hoping to achieve more light and vibrance in my work.
