Made it down to the river-house in Mathews County, VA for Memorial Day this past weekend. We had an amazing time - there is really no way to paint or write about this place that can adequately describe it.
For this painting, I worked from a "color-capture" photo that my wife took of some of the day-lilies that are scattered throughout the field and along the lane leading up to the house. She captured the reddish-orange of the day-lilies so that the lilies are the only colorful part of the photo, everything else is black and white. I think this helped me to capture the correct values in the painting - I painted it first in different shades of burnt umber (dark brown) to match the values and then mixed colors to match the values and painted over the browns.
I like this one - hope you do too.
this one is great!!!! :)
ReplyDeletei have an orange dog named lily! almost the same as the flowers.
Thanks! Need me to paint your lily?
ReplyDeleteI might have you do that in the future for me... not just yet.
ReplyDeleteBut I really like the way Poppy turned out in the painting you did for Chris; so it's definitely on my radar!
