Well I'm very glad to be back in my studio today. Here's a painting I did just before my break while the brown drapery was still up and the ficus still fresh. Today I "painted what I paint with" in response to the current Daily Paintworks Challenge. It's a humid 100 degrees outside, and I felt so thankful to be in the air conditioning painting away! I'll post that one tomorrow.

Maybe I'm in a "dark period" with all these dark backgrounds! The thalo blue-green with dark reddish browns seemed a rich color combo to me. In terms of value pattern this is an example of large dark, medium sized mid-value and a smidgen of light.
