I am starting a new larger piece and have been agonizing over the colors. Found a Sorolla painting with the colors I want to use for the beach scene. Before I start on the studio piece, I thought I'd try the colors on this study. Looks beachy to me!

We have the most wonderful oranges in our yard. Beautiful and sweet. I wanted to paint it while really fresh - I thought I'd chosen the palette correctly; once I did the orange, I hated the original background. Had to warm up the whole thing!

Roses are red... This one certainly is. Used the warm clear palette. Still working edges and "grays" in the clear palettes. Roses are hard!
I took this photo at the Scottsdale Artist School in the Women's rest room. During rose season, there are always beautiful roses on the sinks!
