and the count is 11!

Well I have continued to paint. This stuff has a lot of ups and downs! Ha! I am starting to see the blocked in colors but I am having trouble with the palette knife.  The first pic I had a problem with the perspective but since I am going for a hundred in 90 days I figure there is a chance I will be working on that again sometime soon. On the second picture I enjoyed doing the trees.  In person they actually looked good. The 3rd pic is our local piggly wiggly. I had trouble with the sharp lines and darks. I tried putting a light pole in the pic to add something.  There were cars in the pic but I didn't feel that ambitious. The predominantly gray pic was the mill in town. It was the first try at cylindrical shapes. It does look better in person. The last picture is a rusty barn.  I am basically going for shapes at this time. I am very eager to get a hand on color and how to get the one I want.  I am realizing with the proper color mixture this blocking in exercise I have been going through will get better and better. Thanks for looking and remember to double click on the image for a better view.  Feel free to comment.
