Daylily

 
12"X 12'
Oil
Stretched Canvas
$200.00
 
These are daylilies from my garden...they don't last long so it was a real challenge to capture the lovely light on the petals before they began to turn inward.  I used a simple palette here.  I have grown to love the violets that I get when I mix Cobalt Blue and Cad Red Medium.  Very subtle but very beautiful.

Thank you, Jerry and Helen. These daylilies are my most favorite because I am drawn to the muted red orange color. So much fun to paint.

I have to try that color combination. On the AHA program they were talking about how cadmiums don't play well with others...I do not know what this means so I need to learn about it...

I am not sure what they mean...you have to bring it to the blueish side and then I tint it...then it is an amazing blue violet. It tends to look dirty when you force it to the purple. Does that make any sense?

I agree, this painting shows a wonderful use of color and beautiful softness. Thanks for telling us about your color mix, too.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
