Summer Scene

I haven't been out to paint in oils or pastels in over a month. I'd intended to paint with pastels today, but I left my pastel backpack at home. So I took it as an omen and decided to use oils. I'm pretty glad I did because I really like this one. I did discover that I need a different yellow than the cadmium yellow medium which I was using. It's too dark and orangy, making it impossible to get the fresh summer greens I was seeing. Chris suggested lemon yellow and that made a huge difference. 8"x10" $25.00
