Thanks, everyone! Jean, I used French Ultramarine Blue mixed with Burnt Sienna and a slight amount of red. In a few spots I used dabs of Indanthrone Blue to help gray the blue even more. But Indanthrone is a cool blue and can really make things ugly when interacting with the warm Ultramarine, so be careful. If I had the option (desire) of doing this piece over I'd skip the Indanthrone. Still learning.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please spend some time here. I hope you enjoy my paintings. I'm not a professional artist--although I've sold paintings--and I don't have aspirations for becoming one. The fact that I enjoy painting is all the motivation I need to keep dipping the brush and slapping on the paint. I believe there are thousands of other painters who hold a similar philosophy. As you can see I have several categories (collections) listed below that you can view. Once again, enjoy your visit. Bookmark and return again. I appreciate your kind remarks.

Love these colors together - I had to come over and see what you had done when this came up on my sidebar...glad I did!
Beautiful contrast in these colors...lovely painting.
This caught my eye in my sidebar. Really nice colors. Particularly the blue. Is that a mixture?
