Still Painting


I just spent about an hour working on my painting of an old International dump truck. I added in the neutral area of the truck body using mostly titanium white with small additions of Venetian red, Vandyke brown, Naples yellow deep, and lamp black.  I am still allowing the blending of colors to be apparent to get that slightly inpressionaistic feeling.  Forget blatant realism, I want to use color more dramatically that lets the viewer's eye do the blending.  It was fun and relaxing to work on this portion of the truck.
It is almost 4:00 pm, I plan to spend the next couple of hours working on photos from my roadtrip.  I am not sure what the evening will hold for me.
