I did a study of this subject last month and have been looking forward to creating a larger version of it.  This one's a bit different with the addition of another figure.  This painting brings back a beautiful November afternoon in San Diego.  The winter light where I live is cold and blue.  I'd love to be back in southern California!

This was too much fun!  In the oil painting class I'm teaching, we have been working with split-complementary color schemes, so I decided to go with that.  Also, I was looking at the notes and pics I took at Kim English's workshop in September and was inspired to try to see my subject in a simpler way.  I look forward to working like this more.  Even though I've painted and drawn seriously for all of my adult life, sometimes I feel like I am just beginning to see!  It is one of the beauties of doing artwork, I think!
