Day 30! Thank you Leslie Byrd Saeta for posing the challenge of painting <a href="http://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog/thirty-paintings-in-30-days-day-thirty5588871">30 paintings in 30 days</a> & thanks to all the support from family, friends & followers. The challenge got my creative juices flowing. I have 2 large paintings already started & I will post them as they are completed. This small study has my beloved turquoise (muted) as the star of the show, but I have paired it with a grayed brown, black & a touch of bright color for interest.</div>

Using oil paint like water color, I let the colors blend & fade in this tiny abstract. I love the color combination here. I'd love to work this into a larger painting.</div>

This is a small corner of a 6 x 9 painting that was not successful. I cropped the photo until I got a 'painting that I liked'. Many artists will not talk about their 'failed' pieces, I look at everything as a learning experience. I did not care for the color 'marriage' or balance of shapes in the larger painting so I cropped it down. This small 4" x 4" could potentially be a successful large painting.</div>

Yesterday I tried painting a few studies on oil paper to mixed success. This one was larger, but I was not crazy about it. I cropped it for a better composition. It made the composition pretty dramatic & bold. I could see this worked into a larger painting. Thanks to Leslie Byrd Saeta & the <a href="http://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog/thirty-paintings-in-30-days-day-twenty7249047">30 in 30 challenge</a>, I have pushed myself to try some new ideas.</div>

Playing with a new color combo here. I like the drama of a strong dark & light combination, while still trying to use subdued colors. The dash of warm pink adds some pizzazz.

Throughout this <a href="http://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog/thirty-paintings-in-30-days-day-eighteen5032362">30 in 30 challenge</a>, I have been challenging myself to use softer more grayed tones while still using interesting color. Lucky # 13, with this small study, I hit the mark on composition, balance of darks & lights and soft beautiful color. I will be using this study to paint a larger piece.</div>

Still working with purple today. I like the composition here & I like the blending. Yellow is the compliment to purple, so it is a classic combination. I am not a huge fan of yellow, so if I work this into a larger painting, I may change the accent color to blues or melon or a different shade of yellow.</div>

Still working in grays, I decided to explore purple for the next couple days. Purple is not a color I use often, although I love the color. This painting has the push pull of darks & lights that create interest while adding some luscious color.

Continuing the use of browns & grays, here with the gray edging into blue. This evokes a mountain landscape to me. Funny, we just got back from a trip to Yosemite National Park & I was so taken with the enormity of the cliff formations. I guess I was channeling that feeling.

My mentor, artist <a href="http://carolynsfineart.com/">Carolyn Counnas</a>, suggested that I REALLY explore neutrals, so here goes. For the next couple days I will work with true neutrals & explore the range of color, value & temperature using neutral browns & grays. I did add a splash of turquoise here for interest, but the bulk of the painting is in shades of brown & gray.<br />

Using the same palette for the last three paintings as you can see here. Even though this is a subdued palette, I find it hard to stay away from my favorite turquoise shades. These three would make a beautiful grouping. I love the movement in this little study, can't wait to paint it larger.</div>

Continuing with cream, gray & blue. I kept my palette from yesterday & changed the composition while adding some vivid notes. Palette knife work emphasizes the focal point. I really think these studies will help to hasten some larger paintings. Hopefully I will get 1 or 2 done during the <a href="http://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog/thirty-paintings-in-30-days-day-five1979615">30 in 30 challenge</a>.</div>

Day 6 in the <a href="http://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog/thirty-paintings-in-30-days-day-five1979615">30 in 30 challenge</a> posed by artist Leslie Byrd Saeta. I am tiring of the grays & want to expand my neutral exploration to beige & brown. But of course I cannot stay away from my beloved colors! This looks like a desert oasis to me with little springs of water trickling down thru the rocks.</div>

Continuing my use of beige and ivory, here it complements my favorite colors of orange & turquoise. Does this evoke a landscape or roof-lines to you?</div>

Continuing my use of grays, I used the thought process & palette from my previous 2 studies to complete a larger piece. Adding green & ochre helped to anchor the painting & make it more interesting. I still consider this neutral in comparison to some of my past work.</div>

Study #2 - 9 x 12 oil on canvas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Continuing my exploration of grays & muted brights. Does this evoke a sail boat or a canyon landscape? That is exactly what I love about abstracts, everyone sees something different & it is so fun to play with shapes & color marriages.
