In this painting I used a limited palette of orange and blue pigments. To these I added a bit of quinacridone rose and yellow. The neutrals that appear as cool and warm browns are made from orange and blue. Since the leaf detail of the croton is busy, I kept the background a simple graded wash of blue. The image is 20 inches by 28 inches. Crotons has been in a Watercolor West exhibit and numerous other venues.Saturday, October 3, 2009
A Favorite
Most of August and all of September have been full of activities not related to painting. My last "new" painting, "Birch Dishabille" was introduced in an early August post. The painting shown on this post is called "Crotons".

Hi Genie!
just going through some emails and came across this one from you that I had flagged to let you know about the trip to France next year. I tried to return your email but it was returned so I will try to reach you though your blog.
Well here is the scoop - please pass the information on to your friend Francie.
Best wishes,
Linda
Hi! I'm excited to send you this advance notice before I post it to my web site or do any outside advertising. We are ready to start taking registration for painting adventures in France. Our dates are set! I have arranged two painting vacations - each two weeks in duration. You may choose the vacation that suits your schedule best, before the limited number of rooms are filled. The rooms are all double occupancy with the exception of one room that accommodates three, so bring a painting pal, spouse or friend. You can promise them a FANTASTIC trip! If you wish to come as a single we will try to arrange a suitable roommate for you as all of the rooms need to be filled.
Our dates
