Lovely experiment Shirley, nice Autumnal colours. I guess if you put more red in you would change the season?

Turns out that more red does fascinating things to other colours around it. My palette is limited, often to three, but here to six colours plus white and black. So often I just have to let go and be adventurous. Leave the left brain behind.

Good to see you experimenting Shirley! I love it, especially the tones in the sky

I think this is a very successful painting, Shirley - I don't think it's too dotty, and the extra use of red works really well.

Experimenting with colours and memory. It may be too dotty, but something keeps saying to me about using more red in the mixes.
