In the Shed

In the Shed
Oil on panel, 6x6
With temperatures nearing 80 degrees this afternoon - it was the perfect day for working in the garden!  I had to dig out my shorts and a tank top - which I haven't worn for months - just to get to work.  There are SO many flowers coming up - I can't wait until they are blooming!  These tools were among the necessary items for today, so I have captured them in oil.  I am again working small, since time is short, and I have other things yet to take care of.  I started with an orange primed panel, and placed all of my darks first.  The lights are not very strong, since these tools are inside of a north facing shed, deep in the shade. From there, I simply laid in all of the value - quick and loose.  Painting number 435 in as many days, and here comes the rain :)

    Tammie, your tools looks so real! Except I think mine are a little more worn. How you have managed to keep up your record of a painting a day is beyond me. What do you do with 435 paintings? I have trouble knowing what to do with the few I have.
