old and new




Here are three paintings I recently worked on. The first is a painting I did last night with the brush-ka-teers of cotton. I really liked the simplicity of style I tried. I was very pleased with the iron and leaving the lighter orange around the edges of it. I learned about a "wash" too. The next painting is of Tryon palace garden gate. I re-did the flowers and their background to help them stand out more. I also re-did the old pump pic with just a lighter green backing to help the pump have a bit more prominence. Thanks for looking and as always, feel free to comment. Dean

thanks Shenoa! If you see a close up of the iron it is really cool too. I painted a wash of green over it so there now is a color I know I cannot reproduce! ha! Dean
