St James Park oil on board 8x10 $75 unframed


This is from a photo I took of St James Park in London. Simplified palette of ultramarine blue, light cadmium yellow and cadmium red hue medium (and of course white). The advantage of a simplified palette is that the colors work together. There is a unity to the color scheme-the challenge sometimes, is to find just the right color and hue that one is searching for. I used the knife as well as brush here and believe that it captures the feeling of a tranquil autumn London scene.
