The Painting Factory continues to produce

I have decided that there are 3 kinds of sky colors applicable to my painting:

  1. Photography blue  – can be washed out, greyish blue or fakey overdone blue
  2. Real blue, so frighteningly blue that no one would believe it in a painting
  3. Believable painting blue that most painters just fall back on – default blue!

Blick.com had a great sale on 10×10″ canvases. Since I have enjoyed the 6×6″ squares so much, I decided to try these.  There may be a show in Sequoia over Labor Day, and it makes sense to paint subjects that are relevant to that area. These are all from photos that I have used in the past, but the square format adds a challenge and makes them look new.
