Out of my Realm

This was a canvas I thought I had ruined. I had painted three paintings and was not happy with them at all. So I bought molding paste and used a palette knife to put it over the canvas and covered all of the old brush strokes. So amazing that my canvas was like new.



I had taken several pictures from a hike over several seasons and I totally loved the fall colors. The painting was more on the contemporary side and out of my realm. The colors were fun and I would never before consider using the colors. 




After using the fun colors I started having fun with color. This is a painting I had done from a trip and used the same colors from my first painting........
