Back to Basics for me!

After being gone for the Plein Air Convention, Whitney Museum residency and shows, I was completely overwhelmed with all of that GREEN in the landscape... befuddlement... so, BACK TO BASICS for me.

I have spent the last couple of weeks working on color relationship studies with the good old blocks!  They are painted primary colors and are a great way to carefully examine one color in relationship to another... it feels great to refresh my mind of the obvious!

Ah, the challenges of plein air painting!
