"Picnic"


6x6", oil on canvas board


This was the second painting I did on the same day as the prior post. I wanted to use a lot of cobalt blue (I don't know how it looks on your monitor). I used a piece of cloth again, but a different one. And I had a lot of colors to figure out! The blues in the cloth vary Some are solid and dark, others mixed with white. Then each color is modified by shadow or glass or water. And you have to choose how to abstract what you see because the reflections change if you  move your head even slightly. It's almost like a puzzle. Seriously.
