I surprised myself last week while on vacation. I brought home two new paintings on canvas.

This piece was super challenging—much more than expected. When I first chose to paint water, I thought a small canvas would be good to start with as a practice piece.

For this painting my color palette included French Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Permanent Rose, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Lemon, Yellow Deep, Yellow Ochre Pale, Viridian and Titanium White.
