Backgrounds 17 and 18 - Two Works in Progress

The temperature has dropped to -14F (-25.6C) but fortunately there is very little wind and it is going to be another bright and sunny day.

Which is wonderful, since I have to go to The Lindsay Gallery to pick up my paintings from the Then and Now All Members Christmas Show and Sale before heading to Art on Kent to sit the show for the afternoon.

I didn't have time to paint while sitting the show as we had a number of people come through the Gallery.














These two canvases are backgrounds created by using the leftover acrylic paint from the painting I was working on yesterday.

The first one was a mixture of alizarin crimson, cadmium red and cadmium yellow.














The second was made with a mixture of Titanium white, burnt sienna, raw sienna and a bit of alizarin crimson.

I will post each of these canvases at a later date once I have decided what to paint.
