Today I finished two paintings......before you go and get all impressed, I have actually been working on one of these much longer than the other (I won't say which one is which)!  One of them evolved very quickly and the other I worked on a little, then looked at it for a few days, then worked on it again, then looked at it a few days, etc....  That is just the way it goes sometimes in the studio.  That is also why it is so hard to answer the question so many people ask, "How long does it take you to paint a painting?"  It is very hard to nail that answer down.  Would you be more impressed if I said a few hours or a few weeks?!  Just wondering.........

Some of my fellow artists have challenged me to create a painting with NO PURPLE in it!  As you can guess, purple is one of my favorite colors and somehow I end up (sometimes unconsciously) working it into every painting.  So.........look above, do you see any purple?  Only beautiful, tranquil teals and golds.....not an ounce of purple.  But don't worry for those who love purple as much as I do, it will certainly rear it's lovely head again soon.  Have a great day!

For me, these are very neutral colors!  What do you see through the trees?  Water, mountains, more trees?  There's no right or wrong answer, it's up to you.  This is also one of the smaller pieces I've worked on lately...........
