painting from photos


We"ll start with the Weds. night figure since I think it is my best painting of the week. Not much to say, I just like the way it turned out.

I had every intention of painting outside today, but got spooked by a windy forcast, so I stayed home and started this painting. These are my friends Jon and Neil on one of our trips to the Needles in Utah.

I have been thinking of the desert a lot lately, so I have been painting from photos taken while on outings there. I am really trying to get the proper colors and values so that they look like they were painted pleinair.
