Elements #15: Wood and Stone, 5"x7", oil on panel, © R.L. Delight
We
spent most of the day catching up on domestic duties and beginning to
get prepared for the growing potential of a deluge of rain.
Should be interesting around here if the totals they are predicting play
out, on top of snow melt. Tomorrow we will need to make a grocery and
errand run up north before the floods hit.
I
deliberately chose fairly neutral objects to paint today. I am really
beginning to enjoy turning the studio time into challenges to improve my
skills. Today I focused on color, texture, and value. I am still
experimenting with color temperature as well but didn't focus on it as
much in this painting. Painting the "elements" of what I find when I am
painting outside has been helpful for me too. Often when painting
outside, the light is changing so fast I don't have time to slow down
and experiment.
Off to finish up the chores and get ready for tomorrow. A parting shot of the set-up:
