25 minute, exaggerated color II, 2

I really like this one. It does not feel stiff. Well, today and tomorrow then high school is out for the summer. I am ready for some time with the dogs and the garden. My summer goal is to work on painting corrections and of course my directed study with Gill Dellinger in pastels. I think I will learn a lot. I have to remember that an unfinished painting is not precious. Until it is finished it is just an unfinished painting. Here the reds are brought up on the toes, knee, elbow, shoulder and ear. These are areas where the blood is close to the surface of the skin so they feel more red. Enjoy the moment!

This is on Peltier Road and painting the same trucks from a different point of view. Must go. Later!

Here is the second one. They are actually kind of  fun but you need a clear mind to be successful. The idea that after 25 minutes you must stop is liberating. There is no time for anything to be to precious! Gesture is important and so is value. Squinting helps to simplify the large areas.
