12 x 12 Show - Studio Place Arts
Rather than simply joining SPA, I decided to submit paintings for the show. The process was pretty simple, and with no expectations, I sent off the application later that day.
Two weeks later, the 'We are pleased to include .....' letter arrived.
Yesterday, I delivered two paintings. I'm looking forward to the opening reception Friday, June 19th from 5:30 to 7:30. The show will hang from June 16 through July 25th in the Second Floor Gallery.

Blue
On sunny, cloudless days, at the horizon the sky is cerulean blue and directly overhead it is cobalt blue.
Prussian blue is important when painting blueberries and blackberries.
Chicory flowers range from cobalt, to periwinkle, to baby blue.
Blue eyes have flecks of silver or green.
Dark veins on leaves have touches of ultramarine.
Cerulean, cobalt, and ultramarine are always on my palette. I keep manganese, Prussian, and pthalo close at hand.

Painting in Progress
I've been working on this painting for the last couple of days. I wanted to work with whites, yellow whites, pink whites and blue whites.
