Sunflowers and Poppies contemporary fine art painting

Sunflowers & Poppies
30x40 acrylic/oil
www.bsyatesart.com

The color yellow;
Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit.

A triptych journey,creating a large oil painting part 2

To continue my journey painting my "Aspen Story" (c)2009;
I blocked in color in my sections on my canvas. I like to paint the darkest focus, first.
This is where the viewers eye perceives depth.
I line up my first (middle) completed canvas next to my working canvas.
I want these to be a continuous landscape.
So on to painting my trees.
Stay tuned for my next blog to see where this journey goes;

A triptych journey, creating a large oil painting

This is the second of three canvas blocked in.
I usually use a base color in each section that can show through the finished painting.
i have found useing and shipping a very large canvas can be a challenge, so I love to use several.
                                    This painting is continuous and  painted in series.
                                                           These aspen trees are from the past Autumn,
                                                           they are  so beautiful and always changing.
                                                   Stay tuned to see this painting evolve
  I will post my progress weekly on this blog. Enjoy!
