CORDOVA AFTERNOON

15 July 2009 -- "CORDOVA AFTERNOON" - 24"x30" Original Oil on Fine Belgian Linen. Underpainting - Palette colors mixed with turpentine and MG Underpainting White. Sky: Thalo Blue, Thalo Green, touch of ochre to gray color a bit. Middle Ground - combinations of Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Yellow. Foreground: Ochre and Diox. Purple. Back at work, but just barely -- summer has arrived -- setting up a new palette today. I like to block in several paintings at a time -- that way each morning I can work on one canvas while the other ones dry. DC

NEW PAINTS ARRIVED YESTERDAY!

11 July 2009 - Jerry's Artarama (online) had a fabulous 4th of July Day Sale -- I went the whole hog and spent all my money -- strange, this is something I would do in November right before the snows arrive.....hmmmm. Does this mean I am settling in again?

FROM MY TAOS STUDIO

7/8/09 -- Don't think I can stand more "rest" -- I miss my easel -- cleaned most of my cabinets, did the laundry, unpacked cartons -- settling back into my old routine -- and I NEED TO PAINT!
