Umbrellas

Acrylic on Panel - 5 x 17 inches - NFS

Back to the country for some more painting and some fireworks etc. Getting better at separating the greens and keeping it loose, but in photographing this next set, something interesting revealed itself. There was a swatch of orange on the backdrop I set these against, and when I viewed them in Photoshop before cropping, that orange really sang. Too bad I didn't manage to get any of it in the actual paintings.

I really think using an orange tone for priming the canvases would have helped me remember to get more of that tone in here.

Here's a faked version so you can see what I mean. It's not great, but it does hint at what could be.
