| The Orange Ring Oil on panel, 10x8 |
As the summer days heat up, we find ourselves often in the pool. This painting is of my youngest son, Michael, just hanging out in the water. I painted this from photo reference I took a few summers ago. This little darling is now 13 years old and 5'11". My neighbor at the paint-in on Tuesday, shared his palette with me. He uses a paper palette, and rather than throw his oils away, I scraped them onto mine. The turquoise is a new shade for me - and perfect for this pool painting! The oils were also of a soft texture - where mine are not. It was fun to play around with them. This is painting number 196 in as many days.
