Background 22 and 23 - Two Works in Progress

It is nice to have the temperature finally making it to 40F (4.4C) and to have some of the snow melt; although I am not looking forward to my driveway turning into a skating rink. But eventually all the snow will be gone and my flowers will bloom.
















Background 22

Yesterday in the Lucy Manley class I used the left over paint as background on two canvases.

For the first one I used half of the raw sienna, the cadmium yellow and the lemon yellow.














Background 23

For the second canvas I used the remaining raw sienna, alizarin crimson and cadmium red.

I will post each of these paintings at a later date once I decided what I would like to paint.
