The same palette I used yesterday. Different placement and proportions. I used a brayer to apply the base coat of Tawny. Hints of it are still visible under the turquoise.

Two busy days forced me to keep things simple. Not easy. Just simple. Grateful for a few moments of peace and quiet. And color!

I found I could say things with color
and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way.
Georgia O’Keeffe

Color!
What a deep and mysterious language,
the language of dreams.
Paul Gauguin

One of the nine that I mentioned as failures. When I removed the tape, the clean white edges made me go, Hmm. Maybe it is not so bad. I would have preferred smooth blends but hey, this certainly does mimic striations seen in the desert landscape.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature is pleased with simplicity.
And nature is no dummy.
Isaac Newton
