I keep going back and forth between water-based oil paints and watercolors. They both have endearing traits.
After completing the oil painting of the trillium (previous post) in the woods standing tall against the cedar tree, I could not resist painting the same subject with watercolor.
Here is a colorful rendition......
I believe I have cured the trillium addiction, for now :)

Day Four
Still on retreat.......at home.
Spent most of the day painting with oils. Unfortunately, I am having challenges photographing these paintings as the paint causes glare. I tried to fix in photoshop, but still not quite right.
This first tree painting of a cedar outside my window is done on a canvas that I textured with with a palette knife and gesso. Needless to say, the textures make the painting. I will work at the photo issue.

The next painting you might recognize from earlier this week.
I added the fruit, leaves, and branches to the lucuma tree.

The three retreaters met last night to process our insights.
All goes well and work continues........
