An antidote to Green


Arran in Aubergines

Oil on Board   24 x 24"
Bridget Hunter 2012

I've another best colour and that's  Permanent Rose. I hardly ever use it straight but rather as a mixer, shaken and stirred to make wonderful oranges, purples and pinks. So to get away from all the recent green works I decided to give an impression of a cooler season in this painting again of Arran, where every road passes these little whitewashed farm type buildings.

  1. Hi Bridget. I was viewing much of your blog and find it interesting that you can work this same image into so many different paintings! All with their own color scheme resulting in a changed feeling.

    I agree permanent rose is a wonderful color. Gamblin makes a quinacridone red which is very similar.

    1. Thankyou Robyn - I'd love to paint in greys like Joan Eardley but I always gravitate towards bold.

  7. Marvelous work! You are right -- this color brings a richness and depth but also a sense of coolness, of chilled twilight on the moors? Bravo!
