| "Orange Roughy" 8"x6" oil on canvas panel |
Was a rough day for this painting today. I did a little experimenting, some good, some not so good, or maybe... just different.
Here is a view of the first part of my experiment. I used complimentary colors as an underpainting for this flower. I wasn't sure what compliment to use for the whitish background, so I used raw sienna.

Then, for some reason I got carried away with the gel medium that I was using and it seemed like the paint got really soupy on me. I had this before I broke out the painting knife!

I suppose this wasn't that bad, it just seemed a little boring to me, so I knifed it up!
I'm calling this painting number 25 of my thirty. Yesterday I painted twice, once in the morning for Cookies & Canvas and again later that night for Wine & Canvas. I posted the Cookies & Canvas painting on Leslie Saeta's site as painting 24. I decided being just one behind is still okay.
Oh, here is my "Cookies" painting from yesterday. Cute, huh? Sorry this guy is not for sale.

How about a photo of all the painters last night? I'll tell you what, we had a great time!
Oh, that's my painting you can see in the monitors!
Hope to chat with you tomorrow.
