New Oil on Paper Nocturne

I started this piece with a different mindset. I was a bit stiff, and was feeling like I had to work. Not excited, or looking forward to painting. The colors were deep and orange, and rather dull. It felt like I was being too literal. What’s up with that???

So, I scraped the paint off, and decided to use a color I really liked. I mixed up some vibrant pink and purple, and there it was. Over the orange base. I think it worked out beautifully. And now I love this painting. Oil on paper. 30″ x 22″. With a white border, due to the painter’s tape. So, a little bigger than what I gave as actual paint dimensions. Full sheet of watercolor paper, gessoed. Enjoy!
