Can you post a photo of how your palette looks mid-painting? I like your idea of grouping colors by value. I remember something like that from Chris's book but I've never tried it.

It's one big mush mess actually. I use clear contact paper over my wooden palette before I put the paints on. This lets me keep the paint on the palettte for literally a week or two without fear of killing the palette with dry paint. I just peel off the contact paper when it's too bad to use anymore.

Linda, I meant to reply earlier to this, but it's been a crazy week for me. (How 'bout those Red Sox?!! )

I just love how you handled this, the bike, the woods and grass, and of course the boy! Beautiful lush color and brushwork! You've really captured the feel of that field and those woods. Congratulations!

Linda,

Would it be possible to get a close up of this background section? I like your last group of painting very much. Your landscape skills are super.

Terrific.

What I really love about this is your skill at subordinating edges, and finding such a successful composition. The color harmony is powerful. It's lovely, Linda.
