BLOEDEL RESERVE

12X16 Oil. Bloedel is now open for painters----hooray. This is a wonderful park on Bainbridge Island with a contemplative atmosphere and umpteen places to paint.
This painting and the one that follows, was painted using a Richard McKinley palette. red yellow blue, mixed to make secondary colors, mixed with white, when necessary, to make a dark, medium cool, medium warm, light cool and light warm. Both paintings were rather too dull and needed work in the studio. Particularly this painting. I see now that I need to soften the edge of the willow.
