This is the largest painting I've done to-date; it took me about three months to complete. The subject is a from a photo I found on the internet. The resolution wasn't great, so a lot of the details come from my imagination.
While I used almost every color in my box, I think of this as a study in blacks. There are at least 6 different "blacks", from carbon black in a tube, to multple combinations of different blues (pthalo, cerulean, anthriquinone and cobalt), yellows (cadmium and ochre) and reds (cadmium and oxide). One is actually just a very dark purple, most, under very close scrutiny, are more like a very dark brown or olive green.
Next up, I need to do a couple things for the Deane Dance Center and Holy Spirit School charity auctions
