Uncle Ken's Blue Period.

This is a painting I did maybe a year ago, one of those paintings where it suddenly announces, mid brush stroke, that it is done.  I especially like that midpoint on the tree where the trunk gets mixed up with the sky.  5x7


I wanted to do a larger version of it and here it is.  I like various parts of it but to me they don't work well together.  Except for the sky which I like a lot.  9x12





These are three horizontals I did to get the feel of various blues.  I've never given blue its due, a few swatches a little water and that would do for a sky.  What I particularly liked about the sky behind the tree was the way it granulated, so I decided to try something with a lot of sky.

 

So here it is so far the sky is ok, and I think I can work with that, well, hill.  The painting and the photo I took, do not have that pink, so I am thinking the reason for the off colors is not our photos, it is Blogspot. 9x12
