Alex , 30"x 30"
Here's another from this summer. I wanted to do something that had a bit of an Allan Banks feel to it in terms of color. It's certainly not an Allan Banks, but I was happy with the tenderness of it.

This is gorgeous - what a great feel to it. I like that the bike is laying down and not taking any attention from the boy - yet it is still there.

VERY Allan Banks, as is the one you posted of the two girls by the water.

Hi Linda,
I love the subdued color and the broken color application, well done! Did you use different brushes (i.e., brights or flats) for this one?

Well Done Linda,
Your painting is so gentle and stunning. I love your colour range especially in your landscape.

Wow thanks everyone, I can't tell you how it makes me that this painting is well received.
I used a #4 filbert for the whole thing. One thing I am doing is grouping colors on my palette by their value - this is helping me be more colorful in a subdued way - It is easier for me to use a range of colors in a particular value area, as long as the value is correct, the play of different colors within the passage provides interest. I used the same brush throughout, and since it's never super clean, as is my palette, I get some great muddy yet colorful tones.

Can you post a photo of how your palette looks mid-painting? I like your idea of grouping colors by value. I remember something like that from Chris's book but I've never tried it.

It's one big mush mess actually. I use clear contact paper over my wooden palette before I put the paints on. This lets me keep the paint on the palettte for literally a week or two without fear of killing the palette with dry paint. I just peel off the contact paper when it's too bad to use anymore.
