My Darling Clementine

                                           6x6 $90
I like the zig-zaggy pattern of this composition. Also the fact that it sort of flirts with the middle of the picture- yet everything veers away from the center in different directions. The background is alizarine crimson, which comes off as pink. Pink is another thing I flirt with. I like it in small doses.

"Basking in the Glow"

                                          6x6 oil on gessoboard

Here's the translucent amber cup again, this time with some more color. I think this shade of green works, especially with the blue dots. I used to have some cad orange, and I was able to get a wonderful translucent orange that really glowed. I'm having a hard time doing that with mixing red and yellow. May have to invest in the orange again, although I'm not unhappy with the look of these oranges.
