Another painting for my show, and one that I'm pretty pleased with! After the last two days working on the cowgirl painting, I needed something that felt like it was working!!

This painting is inspired by cellist Daniel Sperry who I enjoyed listening to a couple of weeks ago in Lithia Park in Ashland, Oregon. It was such a treat. He was playing alone and when I was there, so were about three couples, each intent upon themselves in the romantic atmosphere created by his music and the beauty of the setting. I purchased one of his CD's and listened to it while I was painting this--THAT was a treat! It really took me back to the moment!

Technically, the day I saw this woman reading in Lithia Park in Ashland, OR was the day before summer started. It was an unusually cool day for the area, but with the promise of hot weather to come! Lots of people out and about enjoying the weather and the park which is really beautiful. It was fun but challenging to paint this! I think reds and greens are two of the most difficult colors to work with and here they are, both in the same painting! It is hard not to wash the colors out with white to get them lighter. If anyone has a pointer on how they lighten reds and greens, I'd love to hear it!
