New Zealand as Inspiration

New Zealand has no shortage of inspirational sites for artists. Papamoa Beach in the North Island is quite beautiful. Close to the beach, this grove of trees caught my attention and resulted in the impressions of "Papamoa" series in acrylic on canvas.

Limited Palette Part Two

This is the continuation of my project to restrict myself to a limited palette. This is the second three in the group - and probably the last. I used quinacridone burnt orange, anthraquinone blue, white, and a mere suggestion of  cadmium yellow medium.  I used a  light glaze of burnt sienna in some areas to create more warmth. As you can see, the second group, completed at a later date are much less subtle and more vivid than the first three. 
These paintings are inspired by Papamoa Beach, New Zealand, which is near the home of my daughter.


Waiting for your comments!
