"The Scent of Summer", 12x16, oil
I had fun experimenting with this painting. I kept wiping out the work I had done when I wasn't happy with it and going over the top with something new. Wiping out was something I got used to hearing about at PACE15. In fact, instead of thinking of wiping out as being a result of making mistakes, it's often a technique that seasoned artists use to get some nice softening effects.
I forget what this is called. Though I know it has a name!
I also used a limited palette of two yellows, two reds and two blues. It does make for a nice harmonic sound, and I do see unity in the work above.
Anyhow, I enjoyed playing with this one and kept the impasto for the end- in the flowers, of course.
