Day 18: Like Old Photographs


"Like Old Photographs" - 6" x 6", acrylic on canvas panel. (burnt umber, ultramarine blue & titanium white)

My husband really likes the ones this month with burnt sienna (warm, sepia red-brown). For some reason those have been the easiest paintings. Maybe mid-tones are easier. I really love/hate the black (mixture of ultramarine blue & burnt umber) and white ones because they have been the most challenging. Generally speaking, this project is hard. I'm glad I'm doing it, but it's like brussel sprouts.

Information about this project is here. If you're a new visitor, I also have a fine art website and a Facebook page.

  1. Your work is beautiful and inspiring. It makes me think about using less color.

    1. Thanks, Sharon! Usually I'm all color all the time. This month is a huge departure.

  2. I love brussel sprouts, LOL. Weird I know. I like the warmer ones too, and it is interesting to learn the others are harder for you. This makes me think of summer in the backyard. :)

    1. I love brussel sprouts, too--but most people not so much. And I must be a weirdo because I like that this project is difficult. :D
