 Ah! There we go! Yesterdays reds looked 'blah' and today's work appears so much better. Quite a mixture of crimson, magenta, orange, and some white. More work to be done, overall. Thanks for looking.

MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS  In the past, I did several paintings of a local water garden koi pond. I have these 2 wood panels and will
work on that subject again to see the results. Just an underpainting so far. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS  Just a peek at where I'm at on this 24 x 30 canvas painting. Again, I am looking for that quality
of 'nature in the abstract' that I find so appealing both for it's result but also for the freedom of the paint strokes and marks. This one is based on the image in the last post which is only 10x10 inches. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS See my website page for PRINTS, too.  Spring Thaw © Melody Cleary 2016 I worked to strengthen the composition on this one by adding darker values and some warm yellows
to help direct the eyes to the center of interest. There are rectangular pieces of papers that are collaged onto the canvas surface prior to painting and one strip has some interesting alpha characters which you can see just up from the bottom. "Spring Thaw" is available. Contact me. 18x24x1.5 gallery canvas. Mixed media MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
I've picked up the palette knife again to work on two 12 x 16 canvases that had paint on them
and were unfinished. So the palette knife with some creamy acrylic with gel medium is a great way to get coverage. Both pieces will have the warmer green tones. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS |
