ACEO - Summer Pines 1
I pulled out this little painting that I had started last year (see post on 05 May 2017), along with five other pieces that I had painted in the sky.
First I lightly drew in the trunks of the main pine trees and it was at this point that I decided to change the name of this painting from Blue 1 to Summer Pines 1.
Using French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna, I painted in the tree trunks and main branches.
With various green mixtures using Antwerp blue, French ultramarine blue, raw sienna and new gamboge I added the pine needles onto the tree branches.
For the grasses in the foreground I used raw sienna, burnt sienna, new gamboge and aureolin.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Fabriano 100% cotton, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.

Cleaning the Barn Yard
Today Ron had an extra day off and he decided to continue working in the barn yard while the ground is still firm enough that the tractor won't get stuck in the muck.
It is a large job clearing out the old hay and manure that has collected over the winter in the barn yard and drive shed.
It will probably take another two or three days before the it is all piled and waiting to go out to the far hill, where after a couple of years it will make great fertilizer for the flower beds.

Dusk 11 and 12 - Two Works in Progress
Today I didn't have a lot of time to work on paintings, so I pulled out a couple of pieces from last year (see post on 09 March 2017) that had the background already painted in and wanted to at least indicate what I wanted to put into the painting.
Dusk 11
For the first one, I decided where I would place the waterline and then added the tree tops above it leaving a little room at the bottom for the rocks above the water.
On the right side I placed a land mass with a number of pine trees.
Dusk 12
On the second one I again placed in the waterline leaving room for the rocks and indicated the tree tops.
I then added an island on the left side of the painting and put pine trees on the rock.
I will post both of these paintings at a later date once they have been completed.
