Linda Hunt

  8"X 8" Oil Stretched Canvas $135.00     I tried to capture the beautiful reds and deep purples of this single gloxinia bloom.  I will photograph again tomorrow as the sun is quite low tonight and I am not capturing the depth that I want.

  10"X 10" Oil $175.00   I have had this jar of honey for a while always intending one day to paint it.  I liked the way that it worked with the blues.

  8"X8" Oil on Linen   $135.00   I love Gloxinia don't you?  They speak to me of Spring, rainy days giving way to sunshine.  In this little painting I used a limited palette of a new combination.  (Cad Red Med, Viridian Green, Cobalt Blue, Naples Yellow, Magenta, White, Smidge of black)  I love the greens that are created using Naples Yellow and Cobalt Blue.  For a brighter green add just a smidge of Cad Yellow Light. I am finding that I have to really concentrate to keep things fresh and light. My energy level must be up or I have a tendency to work things too hard.  It is important to keep a light touch.  I love the feel of the paint under the brush when you just gently brush the paint on.
