A Little Bit of Skye
Oil on board 20 x 24'
Bridget Hunter 2012
Still trying out the new blue ( Windsor Blue, green shade ) and finding it makes some very intriguing mixes with Cadmium Red or Yellow Ochre or a warmer blue, or combinations of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I work with a limited palette of 7 colours anyway so it's been an adventure into the unknown.
This oil is based on a sketch done when I spent a week in Skye last year and, like this May, it rained !
Blue suits you! This painting is an instant favourite. The little row of houses is enchanting.
ReplyDeleteOh you excited me with your mixing "a little bit of this and a little bit of that!" Sky must be a beautiful place. Love this colour palette, Bridget
ReplyDeleteMagnificent colours and design. Your brush work is fantastic. Really great work!
ReplyDeleteStunning, fabulous painting. I love your palette and how you put so much light and color in your paintings--even with a limited palette.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more.
Luscious, luscious work, Bridget! I so enjoy the contrasts, the colour, and the way you infuse energy into your work.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!
Looking forward to more.
I love your little bit of skye, I spend a lot of time drawing and painting on skye finding the landscape very inspirational. I especially like your sketch book paintings, they are full of joy!!
