Jesse's on Magnolia River 6x6 oil on panel

Paintings and more paintings! I've had so much fun the past few days in a workshop led by Jo Patton! She is a walking encylopedia of amazing information and techniques. I can only hope I will continue to explore and experiment with everything I learned in her workshop. She emphasizes color surprise. Let me know if you can find my color surprise!

This painting was done in about 30 minutes. I started it the last few minutes of day 2 in the workshop. The next morning, I started back on it, thinking it was going to be a "paint over". I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be a much better painting than I thought. I concentrated on using an analogous color scheme I would not normally use. I need to try that again!
