Hmmm been a while since I posted anything so thought I'd fill you in on what I am working on. I was so inspired by the tiny rural villages in France that I've started another big painting (18x24) of Montesquiou, where I recently attended a friend's wedding. I'm working from a photograph I took, and I'm realizing that it is much easier to work from pictures taken on a cloudy day because i can read the colors much more accurately. I'm maybe 70% done and getting to that point where I'm like "ugh...hurry up already!" Even though in reality I have only been working on it the past 3 days, and actually I am enjoying it a lot (it has lots of shades of purple, and this is my all time favorite color.) So here is the photo I am working from, I will post the painting later this week when it is finished.
It is interesting what you pointed about about seeing more colors when it is cloudy, but it definitely makes a lot of sense :) I can't imagine how beautiful that wedding must have been!!!
