| Apple Tree |
In the four short weeks since I painted this, the scene has changed dramatically! The apple tree leaves are now dropping and the flowers' bright colors have faded. At that point I was thinking, oh there is just so much green - too much. The remedy was to scoop up pink flower pigment and mix it with the predominant greens. The result was more varied reddish greens for alternating leaves. This trick is handy for painters who want variation, but need a color that is consistent and harmonious with the rest of the painting. I even put some pink in the grass, just because it looked pretty. I still may deemphasize the stone wall. Did you spot that these stones look too blue?
