We're back in the hot sunny days of the early 70's. On my last version, I spent a lot of time layering glazes to adjust temperature. I wondered what would happen if I tried again, but with only "hot" colors. I'm trying to get a sense of the lazy heat of the day—so, the atmosphere more than the subject. Here's my start (already using many layers of arylide yellow, pyrrol orange and pthalo turquoise).

Oh yeah, I would like to see at least half a dozen paintings from this image. I would like to see various crops. Especially a crop of the lamp and bottle. Oh, oh, and how about a crop that would cover all of the lower pane, including the part of Dave that is included in the window? And y'know there is no painting that isn't improved with a bit of dit dit dit. But then you can't always get what you want.
ReplyDeleteI love the glow, but you need to introduce more darks for contrast. The shadows would also be warm…warm blues? Red based purples? I love the way it’s painted — the haziness of it all.
