PrimaTek Best of Show
I bought a smaller pallet to work with in my studio and some new paints. I'm really excited to start working with them! I'm really loving my new a permanent work space. Things are slowly finding there home. But enough about that. I wanted to share the artist candy. I think that's what the fresh squeezed paint looks like to me. That is the color chart for my last pallet that I was using is a little metal one with some great Schemenke paints. The other thing this will allow me to do is work on two paintings at once.
So here is the yummy description of the this set. Explore Daniel Smiths intriguing straight-from-the-earth pigments. From the quiet earth tones of Minnesota Pipestone and Tiger's Eye Genuine to the rich jewel colors of Amazonite, Purpurite, Rhodonite and Lapis Lazuli, they bring the subtlety, depth and complexity of the natural world to you palette.
Here's to keeping the brushes wet,

The Palace of Fine Art's
The Palace of Fine Art's
15 x 22
Watercolor
The grounds are so captivating. The Palace of Fine Arts - houses art from the Renaissance to Modern, and is the work of California architect Bernard Maybeck. Maybeck's fantastic creation is inspired by a Piranesi engraving featuring a Roman ruin reflected in a pool.
The painting was completed by me today just in time to enter it into the Pacific Art League's October Exhibit. The theme for October is
Landscapes, Seascapes & Urbanscapes
I will know by September 22nd if the piece was accepted.
Keeping the brushes wet,
