Title-’Pondering’
Third sequenced post, ‘The Finished Painting’.
As I mentioned in the ‘Worksheet’ post, there was a change made to the leaf that prompted the ‘Pondering’ title. In the painting, I switched the leaf from curling/pointing away (depicted in the worksheet) to having it point inward, which is the proper direction of the ‘fingers’ if resting the chin on a hand. I know, picky, picky, but really, a sense of logic must prevail. Lol.
Next Monday, the start of the next Painting in the ‘12 + 12 Project’.

Title-’Bing Cherry’
Third sequenced post, ‘Finished Painting’.
With still feeling relativity new to Oil Paints and learning their various proprieties (opaque’s, translucence’s, Glazing, etc.) and how I effectively paint with them, I was recently made aware of a grouping of oil colors listed as Radiant’s. For the last few paintings they have been used sparingly to gain a feel for them. I’m getting to like them. In this painting they are used predominantly in the three ’swirling’ designs on the left.
Next Monday the start of #18 in the 12 + 12 project.

Title-’Cross Talk’
Third sequenced post, the ‘Finished Painting’.
One of the positive aspects of engaging in a project such as this, is experimenting with choices of colors. In particular, the colors used in the ’box’ areas. These soft pastel colors are an extension from a painting in the 8 x 10 ’Eleven Series’ I completed a few months ago. Pending on the subject matter, I expect this ’box’ and/or color choice will periodically find it’s way into other future paintings.
Next Monday, the start of the next Painting in the ‘12 + 12 Project’.

Title-’Close Encounter’
Third sequenced post, the ‘Finished Painting’.
Pending the paintings narrative, time of day can play a part in how colors are chosen. In this case ‘dusk’. With that in mind I worked to keep the colors subdued to try match this time of day as best I could.
An item on the worksheet, the flower in the flower pot, somehow didn’t make it into the painting. There is a chance I might consider going back to the painting and putting one in, but at the same time I’m not too bothered with the lack of one. I could always reason that a flower is what is being sought.
Next Monday, the start of the next Painting in the ‘12 + 12 Project’.
