color shifting

 

I have the painting bug.

I wanted a fall theme for a painting but

with a twist.

On this canvas I decided to "shift" the colors.

The crow's black color moved to the pumpkin,

the pumpkin color shifted to the background and the

background color...I picked sky blue.

The blue then became the crow's color.

There is a long way to go on the painting,

this is just a "roughed in" start on the colors.

I will add details and mess with highlights

and low tones some day soon.

 

Today here in PA it is going to be 70 degrees and sunny,

probably one of our last warm days so I will

be outside with my camera.

 

During one of my trips to the Lowes I picked up

some things I thought I could use in my art work.

 

 

In the nuts and bolts aisle I picked up

a hardware gauge, it helps one

fine a screw or bolt size.

When I bought it I was thinking about some

posts I had read on Corrine's web site.

She had been doing a series of work with patterns.

Looked like patterns to me on the hardware gauge.

But now, I see how useful the gauge will be for

my sketchbook project, the theme is diagrams.

There are a lot of cool shapes on the gauge to make a diagram.

 

My second find was chrome spray paint.

I can think of a ton of stuff that would look

so much better painted chrome.

Nice weather, whole can of spray paint......

this is going to be a fun day!
