| Limone Flowers 6 x 8 Oil Painting by Pat Fiorello This was a small study for possibly a larger painting somewhere down the line. It's based on a photo from my recent trip to Lake Garda in northern Italy. This was a street in a wonderful town called Limone on the northern end of Lake Garda. It had an abundance of bougainvillea - even in late September. The bougainvillea is always a challenging color to capture- -it's not really purple. I tried few combinations on my own that didn't quite get it, but then I referred to my color charts and saw that magenta plu permanent rose plus white came pretty close. |

Those color charts come in handy!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do. Sometimes I'm lazy or resist looking colors up ( even though I keep the book ut on the desk in my studio), but when I do finally look them up, I am always glad I did.
