Color Studies

After months painting outside, primarily, it feels good to paint indoors. Naturally, painting inside is an entirely different experience than in the outdoors. When painting indoors it is easier to paint larger and at your own pace.

I am constantly searching for new color combinations. In particular, rich, lively, darks are a gem if I come upon them. I like this new combination of phthalo blue and burnt sienna which creates a cool,  dark green.

The other thing I am interested in is the absence of color in some of those color swatches above. When you paint with interesting edges full of expression where you don't have paint suggests a landscape unto itself.
