Last Year’s Garden

 Overdone,  chaotic….it is really kinda that way. 


Doctor’s office has art books. Turns out it’s not that easy to paint like Rothko 🙄.


This is in hot press sketchbook. This composition appeals to me. The people on the left are “in” the painting and the bench connects to the person on the right.

  1. Your garden always looks so magical. And I'd say lush instead of overdone or chaotic. I agree about composition of the second one. So nicely balanced. And Rothko paintings are deceptively simple. What looks deep and immersive at his hand looks childish in other hands.

  2. Love the garden sketch…that is exactly how I feel about mine — a chaotic mess! I think the people should be toned down in color so the Rothko glows…

    1. U r right. I covered viewers’ clothes with a wash of whatever the complement and it worked well. It was easy…maybe because it’s hot press.
