WELCOME

I have changed the title of this blog from "Figuratively Speaking" to "Primary Colors" because I have discovered the joy of painting with a limited pallette in oils. My subject matter will now include "plein air" landscapes and street scenes as well as figurative work. I am working exclusively with cadmium yellow light, cadmium red light, ultramarine blue, and titanium white. I wish to explore these colors thoroughly and discover the many color combinations possible with just this pallette. Thank you for visiting this site and I hope you will return regularly to check on my progress.

"Beach Walk", Oil on Panel, 5"x7"



The scene for this small painting is a beautiful beach in the "Cinque Terre" region of Italy. It was evening time and this couple were enjoying a solitary stroll on the beach. He was formally dressed and the lady had taken off her shoes.
