A new easel painting appeared between a couple of larger park projects.<\/strong>\u00a0I continue to happily paint all these big public art pieces but it helps to create a bit of of whimsy on a smaller, looser scale.

This painting was a collaboration with Nancy.<\/strong> We’ve never done this before, even after 25 years of working together on giant walls and making a living selling our individual efforts. We painted this together, each of us doing some, then the other moving forward and fixing the other’s deadends. I think it resulted in a refined and well thought-out painting. We might even try it again. Maybe next time I can get her to sign her name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about color values and painting low winter light. It’s far more interesting than painting anything in summer – absolutely anything. It takes some time and thought to keep the image slanted over into a monochrome pallet of similar values, mix each with a bit of all the rest, and save the center-of-interest for the only intense place to blast away with slightly more color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of layers in this painting, as you can see, but they’re all on a level of dullness to not get excited about. The road beckons the viewer to join us in a walk up the road, dodging puddles, to discover what’s just over the ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
