Little Bird
Continuing 30 paintings in 30 days… This is a study of complementary colors using violet and orange primarily. Makes the decisions easy on what colors to use. Maybe I will try this again using some of the other colors. Oil on canvas board, 8 X 10″
Vintage Green
Continuing with the 30 paintings in 30 days…. Auburn, California, where I live has “cruise nights” in the summer where you can see many of these lovely vintage autos. Beautiful things of the past and if you are fortunate, the present. Oil on Canvas, 8 X 10″
