Lemon Study

Lemon Study, 2006, oil on canvas, 6 x 6 inches
I was thinking tonight, 'how in the hell am I going to paint something without my paints?' My materials are in storage, including my big collection of Williamsburg Oil paints. All I have with me is a paint box with odd colors that I rarely use, and tonight I had to make magic happen with this restricted color palette. I didn't know what to do or paint. I was ready to give up until I decided to just give it a try and paint this lemon. To my luck, there was still some paint left over on my palette from the other night, giving me access to my usual colors. I had to use them wisely because I was not going to have enough for this small painting. I made it work some how. I'm happy with this painting, it might not be a master piece but I love it anyway.

Love the almost-monochromatic feel to this one. I think a restricted palette can be a blessing sometimes.

Hi David, I thought the same thing a bout a restricted palette after I was done with this.
