Like “All Mixed Up”, this painting began as a photo taken at the local farm show.
Since I intended to use this painting as a demo, I worked it in 3 stages to use as a “prop”. I began, as usual, by wetting the paper all over and dropping in color. I used simple red (quin. rose), yellow (hansa yellow) and blue (French ultramarine and cobalt).
When that had dried, I began adding more colors to the left and center, gradually building up some definition in layers.

Carol - yep, it's busy, but don't know about "wonderfully busy"!!! Stand by for plenty more of this one!
Diana - thank you so much for your compliment. Anything old and rusty, or old and shiny in this case, is always fun to paint.
Hi. I really enjoyed your last few posts where you showed how that picture was made. Ilike the idea of taking photos and working lots of different ideas from that. Thanks for the info!
