A Quickie ... or ... What Possessed Me to Use Purple
One of my hay farm photos
First attempt
Delving deep into quin. violet for the shadows
Brown madder on all of the equipment's form
Added a soft "ground" to give it a vignette look
This was the effort of a couple of hours, off and on. Obviously, I just had to paint anything, any which way. Hmmm ... I hear that saying whispering in my ears "Patience is a virtue".
Well I really like that purple! It gives it life in a unique way. :) And I loved your first attempt too, with blue along the skyline. I have had to remind myself to be patient lately too.
Very clever Kathryn! Unique too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what possessed you - but I'm glad it did! Lovely vignette :) xx
