Birches and Trilliums

Today while I was sorting through some boxes that were kept in storage, I came across three partially completed paintings that I had started in a few workshops with Mary Lampman a number of years ago.

In Mary's classes we used a palette knife in pretty much all of the painting and this one shows quite clearly, that I was not used to using a knife to paint. 

I just had the foreground to complete and I used Payne's grey and titanium white to put in a rail fence.

















Next, using various mixtures of raw sienna, hansa yellow and burnt sienna for some of the dead grasses and growies and ultramarine blue, cerulean blue and the different yellows for the green grasses and growies I added them into the foreground leaving a small opening for a pathway into the background.

Using titanium white, I added in trilliums through the vegetation in the foreground.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork.

This original 12" x 12" acrylic painting when framed will be available for $250.00.
