Gloria J Zucaro's "Gold & Blue"

6"H x 6"W Original Oil on Panel

SOLD

On the last day of the Dreama Tolle Perry workshop, the artists were either finishing up paintings started in the four previous days or starting new ones.  I decided to paint some pansies that were on the table set for us with coffee and fresh baked goods from Cary Jurrians,the owner of the Whidbey Island Fine Art School, and a terrific baker.  I love Spring flowers and now that I am home in Illinois have put out several containers of these colorful flowers.

Questions?

I did this painting from my reference photo of a farmstead in McHenry, IL.  There was a little snow on the ground and the stormy sky suggested that we might get more.  This was also done the third day of the Dreama Tolle Perry workshop, and I blocked in with the transparent oils.  I am really enjoying the wonderful mix of colors you get with them under the more opaque paints. I love the truck in this photo and the sunshine and shadow mood.

My supplies from the Dreama Tolle Perry workshop arrived late yesterday.  On our first day we had introductions and a name tag with an affirmation given to us.  After our intro we were to read our affirmation.  My name tag got displaced around the fourth day, but my affirmation was something like"the world is a better place because I share my creative talents."  Next we learned about the palette starting with transparent oils and the addition of the rest of the palette colors.  Afterward Dreama started her "chunky" demo for this painting above.  The term chunky referring to the process of demoing in three or four parts so that we wouldn't forget how she had started.  At the end of each part we returned to our easels and painted up to where that part of the demo had ended using a photo she had given each of us.   It was a fun and interesting first day!
