Tulip and Red Barn

January 16 & 17, 5" x 5" Acrylic on Canvas Board














Work is very busy, so I've had very little time to paint. Over the weekend just passed I had an overwhelming desire, so I grabbed a couple of 5-inch square cards and did these two, somewhat primitive, tiny paintings. The Tulip was done on Saturday and the Red Barn on Sunday. Both were staight from my imagination.

The inspiration for the barn was something I saw on a Second-Saturday Art-Walk in downtown Sacramento on January 9. The artist used a minimum of colors. I only used yellow ochre, raw umber, red oxide and titanium white. The challenge was fun. I might try it on a larger scale soon.
