Yellow Candle - Day 5

Day 5. Life got in the way yesterday! I love working with the 4 color groups from Susan Deihl's workshop. Makes choosing and mixing a palette so much more sensible! I chose warm muted for this painting - the metals on the candle sticks just seemed that way. The palette knife is still a challenge for me, I just don't have the control. And am working on getting a variety of edges.

Scottie at the Pond

Painting black dogs is always a challenge, since there is no black on my palette and they aren't "really" black!  I was looking at a black Scottie at a cafe the other day, and observed the blues, purples, and reds in his coat.  That prompted me to take on a Scottie for this 2nd challenge day!
