🥃 🍣 Burnt sienna & titanium white take the lead here with bigger proportions + just a dab of raw umber & Naples yellow. Smooth and earthy tones. 😮‍💨 that’s my palette this fall.

Regardless of whether the color name has ‘beige or tan’ in it, beige caters to an orange undertone, and tan caters to a yellow undertone. Does the perfect tan even exist?

Inspired by Henri Matisse who was known for his distinctive colors and flat two-dimensional shapes. He was the first artist to fully separate color from shape. He once said, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them”. —

34 in x 46in, Oil, acrylic, ink and graphite on canvasFlocks of birds soar above within a palette of coppers, golds, browns, blues and a touch of burnt sienna. The excitement lies in the “in between”, the negative space and the unknown of what’s to come…

I’m very happy with the reworking of “Endless Summer” 🦋 Which room do you think suits it best? (1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7)?24in x 30in Oil, acrylic, and ink on Canvas (framed in white floater)The Endless Summer hydrangeas and the blue butterfly symbolize the delicate balance between resilience and transformation. The hydrangeas, known for their ability to bloom repeatedly, represent an enduring beauty and the cyclical nature of life. Their soft, ever-present hues suggest a timeless connection to the earth’s rhythms. Meanwhile, the blue butterfly fluttering above evokes the spirit of change and fleeting moments of wonder. Together, they create a narrative where permanence and impermanence dance in harmony, celebrating the persistence of life and the ephemeral nature of each beautiful moment.

No other hydrangea compares to Endless Summer, the world’s first hydrangea bred to bloom all season long, season after season.

A composition change can go a long way.Artists make changes in their paintings (pentimenti) for several reasons:1. **Improvement of Composition**: As the artist works, they may realize that a different placement or proportion of elements within the composition would be more effective. Pentimenti reflect the artist’s evolving vision.2. **Correction of Errors**: Sometimes, the artist may notice a mistake in the drawing or painting that needs to be corrected. Instead of starting over, they adjust their work as they go along.3. **Changing the Narrative**: The artist might decide to alter the story or theme of the painting, which can involve modifying figures, objects, or backgrounds to fit a new concept.4. **Experimentation**: Some artists experiment with different ideas on the canvas, making changes as they explore different possibilities. Pentimenti can be a sign of this creative process.Pentimenti are considered valuable by art historians because they provide insight into the artist’s working methods and thought processes. They reveal how a masterpiece came to be and the decisions the artist made along the way.
