MORE STILL LIFE PAINTINGS ON MY BLOG

These are two paintings below,  that I've done in a yellow ochre, black and burnt sienna color palette.  I've mentioned that I love this color palette.  It is limiting in some ways and freeing in other ways.  When I only have three colors to use, there is not much thinking or decision making that bogs me down.  I've found that each color has a purpose and needs to be there when I am only using three colors.

SOME NEWS...
I wanted to mention that I will soon be posting the details about my head injury 3 years ago and how I began painting and working in mixed media after it.  Keep checking back to see when I post the "story".

NEW STILL LIFE PAINTINGS ADDED TO BLOG

I wanted to share some more paintings that I've done.

I hope you enjoy these paintings below in yellow ochre, black and burnt sienna.  Intially, when I started some of these paintings I did not like the color combination.  I've always created art that is full of color and saturation so these colors were a real challenge for me.  Now, I love this way of painting.  I love seeing if I can truely represent the colors of the still life I am looking at with just the three colors

This painting below is very textured with thick paint in the flowers.  I love to paint with texture and with a pallette knife.
