Day 30 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, January, 2015

Hope for Hawks!

Today's painting represents the final day - Day 30.  I have tremendously enjoyed this round of 30 paintings in 30 days.  Thanks so much to Leslie Saeta as well as all my new artist friends who have been both inspirational and encouraging.  Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to leave comments and provide dialog on topics that interest us all.  

The palette for today was meant to be very specific: dark blue and bright green (explanation below).  

If you (or anyone you know) follow sports at all, you may realize that the SuperBowl is being held here in Phoenix , AZ this weekend - my hometown.  Supposedly this weekend is being described as the "center of the sports universe".  For all golfing fans the Phoenix Open is happening here in Scottsdale at the same time - which includes most of the major icons in the world of golf.  

Amid all the craziness and all the events, what it all boils down to is: lots of people and festivities; lots of traffic; additional security everywhere and a general frenzy in the Valley of the Sun...which today happens to be more like the Valley of the Rain -  a rather unusual occurrence in the desert...

At any rate, it's all good and it's all fun...  

The reason for the choice of colors in my painting of primarily bright green (Green Gold) and blue (Indanthrone Blue) is because these are the colors of the Seattle Seahawks. Having lived in Seattle, they are still favorites in our household.  So - all I can say for this final painting of the 30 days is - Hope for the Hawks...

Go Seahawks!

Singing Homeland

The palette for this painting encompasses almost all transparent pigments: Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Pink, Quinacridone Coral, Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), Indanthrone Blue - with a touch of Cobalt Teal Blue (the lone non-transparent paint).  

Believe it or not, the painting is a bit more vibrant in person.  It really does sing a happy and clear tune.

Day 27 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, January, 2015

Triad 2 Ways

Today's painting focuses on another trio of transparent watercolors: Quinacridone Magenta, New Gamboge and Phthalo Blue (Green Shade).  In essence, it falls into the rhelm of a variation of the primary colors of red, yellow and blue.

To me, the painting may work more than one way.  I would be interested in getting your feedback regarding your preference - #1 Vertical or #2 - Horizontal, by leaving a comment below or by emailing info@cagleyart.com:

The Flash

Today's multimedia experience involves a watercolor underpainting and colored ink. The two play nicely together so it was an entertaining and fulfilling process.

Day 17 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, January, 2015

Touching the Sky

Today's palette involves PrimaTek watercolors, which are mineral-based, naturally occurring pigments.  The colors are generally more subtle earth tones (I used Yavapai, Hematite Violet, Mummy Bauxite, Sedona Genuine, Kyanite Genuine, Serpentine  Genuine) plus some jewel shades (Amazonite Genuine, Rhodonite Genuine, Fuchsite Genuine and Red Fuchsite Genuine). Some are granulating and others (like the Fuchsites) are sparkly.  I appreciate the rich and earthy pigments that reflect the energy of the earth expressing through the minerals.

Day 9 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, January, 2015

Vortex of Creation

Once again, I used various Quinacridones for layering and clear color.  The only non-transparent was the use of a bit of Nickel Azo Yellow at the end to highlight some of the yellow.
