8×6 oil on canvas panel This is really fun and interesting painting these saturated colors. I picked up a stack of colored papers the last time I was at the art supply store to use in my still life paintings. I’m enjoying carefully coordinating color schemes as a motive for experimentation. Some work better than others but they’re all fun.

Well, it’s New Year’s Eve. Here’s wishing you a wonderful coming year. I hope to get to know many of you better in the months ahead. I’ll be here with new paintings, and new additions to “The Depot”. I hope to post my first in the coming series of interviews with daily painters. Stay tuned. If you have suggestions about who you’d like to know more about, please let me know.

What works for one artist doesn’t necessarily work for another - try anything and everything and go with what works for you. (Paul Dixon)

You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That’s all right, you are feeling your way into the thing. (Emily Carr)
