Study In Yellow

Mellow Yellow, 14" x 18" oil on canvas
This was lots of fun to do.  I painted this in my class with Ian Shatilla.  The process was as follows: take a photograph of a still life you create with ribbons, strings, beads, cupcake and chocolate papers and various papers, like tissue paper and crepe paper.  Then paint from the photograph, exploring how to mix various yellows and using other colours as well, trying to achieve some harmony.

Indoor Garden: Longing for colour

February Bouquet, 10" x 8" oil on stretched canvas

Colour, please!  After so much white scenery, I long for the colours of spring.
