I teach a 2 day workshop this weekend in Zumbrota, MN about an hour and a half from me. What I think will end up happening is this... I'm still painting nocturnes, but the posting may have to wait until Sunday or Monday morning. I'm not quite sure how else to do it. I finish up late, leave before 6:30 am to make the drive to the workshop. That doesn't leave much time to shoot, edit, post on the blog, eBay, website and Facebook.

9/17-1 'Tangled in Blue'
This is a local dining establishment on the main drag here in Taylors Falls. On site, I could not seem to get the cool violets and blues I was seeing in the scene. Turns out that the reason was, once again, the orange street lamps. Once I was home I saw that the colors I thought I was mixing were there. This says a lot for trusting yourself when painting these things.

I just have to say, I love the work. Nice "feelings" coming from the paintings. You've done a great job of capturing the season as it moves to a close.
That is very interesting - one of my teachers, Everett Raymond Kinstler, says to "trust your palette" which is what you are doing!
Thanks all.
Laurel you heard exactly what I'm dealing with from Raymond! It's amazing to me that I can't see what I'm accurately mixing out there.
