Painting with Summer Colors

"The Morning Air", 24" x 36", oil

Finding colors ideas is not hard especially in summer months.  Colors have personalities and convey happiness, balance, and feeling.  

I have been painting with every color in my paint box--trying unexpected tubes for the challenge and fun!  Even neutrals relate a sense of space and purpose.  Some tubes I bought on a whim to try at some point only to be buried at the bottom of my box.  Now was my opportunity...

One of the best apps I have found is Colorsnap. This app lets you snap a picture of a color you love and match it to a true paint.  Job done! (almost)

My newest paintings of course include the sea and sand but I added some unexpected summer colors in my still life as well.  This has been refreshing, and I hope you find these new paintings appealing.  

"Keepsakes", 12" x 12", oil

I will be at the Rehoboth Arts Festival for the next two weekends with my new works.  Summer is almost over, get to the beach!  Hope to see you there.

"All in a Days Work", 16" x 16", oil
