December 2012 Challenge Painting by Daily Painter of Pennsylvania Mary Beth Brath

Get it Done!
Self Explanatory by Mary Beth Brath
5x7" Acrylic on Board
 
"paint with colors you...um...dislike"

Happy New Year To All!!

I hope everyone has set goals for 2013.  Stretch and grow my friends. Reach for the stars. We have some great challenges planned for this blog in the coming year.

There is a thin line between love and hate...so I have been told.  My favorite colors to paint with are alizarin crimson and cadmium red.  I hate pastel and fuchsia pinks.  All other colors are just yummy to me and as an artist, I use them all.

INFERNO
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Inferno'
Oil on Linen Panel
10 x 8

 I was hiking in the woods and came across this area where
the brilliant yellow leaves of a tree were glowing behind
the foreground trees.  It almost looked like a burning fire.

I painted this for the DPP Challenge because it contains
yellow, orange and brown - the three colors
I like the least on my palette...


If you would like to see more of my work,
please visit my website or my blog. If you are
interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see
here on this blog, please contact me.
