Cherries Squared - Day 11

12" x 12" Oil on Canvas
SOLD
The challenge today was to paint RED! How many reds in the paint world are there!
Well I think a lot!!!!! I had at least 6 tubes out ........the transparent  of the skin was
the hardest to get.....I love the yummy reds against the cools of the table cloth.  I added
a little light green, but it didn't show up in the photograph.  This painting is much better
than the picture.... you can't see the impressionist colors juxtapose together.  
Anyone doing the challenge can't help but get better......what fun!  Thanks Leslie!

After a great trip North to South Carolina, DC and Boston, we made it back to the Sunshine State!  Everyone thinks it hot here, well it's hotter in SC and  DC.  Plus they don't have that wonderful ocean breeze. We had many adventures, plus a few internet problems.... I forgot how slow slow can be! Our Summer Series is on Week 5 with the Octopus....you can see the video on  my youtube channel. We will finish the series next week with the Seahorse.  I hope you've enjoyed the projects. I plan on incorporating the new colors; Lemon Yellow or Permanent Yellow,  Cadmium Red, Permanent Rose or Quinacridone Red, Cobalt Violet,  Manganese Blue or Cerulean Blue. I finally decided after 30 years of the normal palette (Burnt Sienna, Gamboge, Hooker's Green Dark, Ultramarine Blue, Indigo, Alizarin Crimson and White Gouache) it was time for a CHANGE! Happy Painting!
