Well, guess what – I did NOT add yellow! After more of the painting was completed it simply affected the way the rest of the painting looked.
I think this is one of the hardest things to realize – that everything you do affects the rest of the painting and you just have to BE PATIENT to see how it all works out!

Coming along beautifully. I can see you have put in a lot of thought and work into this piece.
Love the colors you are using! Great so far!
Wow! This is such a detailed painting. I love seeing your process. It's looking really good so far.
Deb, I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with this piece. Can you please post a picture of yourself to show that you are not crossed-eyed and bald by now.
Oh my gosh.
It's like unwrapping a beautiful present!!!
I am so loving this process!!!
I appreciate the progress photos. It thrills me to see each area coming together.
Very intricate and very beautiful already. I love how you are using negative painting to create depth. I can't wait to see the rest.
Oh my goodness ... I'm lost looking at this, I could never paint it. This is turning out beautiful. It is amazing when you think about how temperature and colors change by whats next to them. Love that, but, I only occasionally think about it when I'm painting. This is really going to be a show stopper Deb.
OMG, Deb, can you come over here and teach me how to be this patient with the paint and shapes and values and...everything?? Looking great! I love that you "tricked" him about the yellow - I did that once to Janet Rogers in a painting workshop. She loves Skips Green and always used it. She wasn't too thrilled with a portrait I was working on (although she was too kind to say). When she came back around, she loved it - what had I done? Just added a touch of Skips Green to a shadow in the face :) hee hee
Gary - yes - maybe too much thought??
Sadia, Nancy, Ginny - thanks!
Vicki - I would post that pix, but would probably break my camera! Not cross-eyed, but maybe bald???
Ann, thanks - it's a slow process!
Christianne - lots of negative - I used to be afraid of that - what can I say - "conquer your fear!!!"
Nancy - gee, I never got lost, got lost, got lost . . . just stuck a few times!!!
Rhonda - I would come there, but as you know, cannot relocate you with GPS, satellite imagery or map! You better come here!! That is an interesting story about Janet!
Here's hoping I don't completely ruin this. And, I think it looks better on the "small screen" than in person!!!
