Color Studies

The other morning, the clouds to the north were so dark greyish blue and provided such a beauitiful back drop for the golden trees in my front yard- I had to paint them- I had just rained so I added some water reflections- they were perfect complements so...
I decided to do a study of complements in red and green- this is what I came up with- the color on this painting is a little of with my photographt....

I then decided to do a yellow and violet study -just for fun.

What a cool exercise to paint all three compliments. This painting thing is one big learning experience isn't it? And experimentation is at the core of growth. Taking chances and see what shakes out. Way to go.

Hey Eldon,
It was enjoyable as I didn't feel any pressure and was basically just playing with color-
