“Wooden wishing well in my garden”
41 weeks in my project and the most difficult part of it, is deciding what to paint next. Although in the past I painted a lot from photos, I still do, but not as much as before, I try to avoid it for the weekly projects. I still experiment with the still life, but for the painting of the week I have chosen another plein air. Because I wasn’t sure how weather will be I stayed in my garden, choosing as subject a wooden wishing well feature, which is near the cornelian cherry I planted early this autumn.
I used a reduce palette, 3 yellows, 2 blues, a red, titanium white and additionally burnt umber and amethyst.
I didn’t use medium, just turpentine to thin the paints.
So, this is my 41st painting of my weekly project:
“Wooden wishing well in my garden”
Oil on linen.
24 X 30cm (10” X 12”)
