"Heirlooms"

"Heirlooms" oil on canvas, 22x28"

at the Blue Heron Gallery

This is the painting I was working on yesterday and finishing today. I have to say that the photo is not doing it justice. It has a lot more contrast and color in person. I will take more photos later when it can be moved. I want it to dry first. I bought a new color for this, which was really fun to add- cadmium orange. I'm still using a simple color palette of 7 basic colors and occasionally add 1 or 2 more. I like working on mixing from the basics.
