Painting on Location - the church toadstools

In the last two days the most beautiful toadstools have started to come up under the oaks at the church. Went a bit camera happy and took around a hundred snaps - mostly all usable which I am thrilled with. Darn the printer being broken!!!

Went over again at 8am this morning and sat down to paint on of the emerging ones on a canvas that I had done the background on back in January. I was interested to see how the colours would go with the red of the toadstool on the deep pink base. Really pleased with the result. Subject is painted in oils.

(Vermillion, yellow, titanium, black, browns and a touch of pthalo blue and green.)

A day is always better somehow when one is able to paint.

The other news is I have been approved to apply for a loan/funding for the first year of art school (foundation year (PT)of a diploma in art and creativity).
