Hillside Villas

Oil and Cold Wax on Gessoed WC Paper
$75
The under painting for this was leftover paint from yesterday's painting. That is how a lot of my paintings begin - with the desire to not waste paint. When I switched from watercolors to oils, one of my first reactions was that the new medium was wasteful. I had been used to just reconstituting my watercolors. So now, ever frugal Doris slaps the oil and wax leftovers on another surface. There is aways a new painting just waiting for me to begin.
Also, I will claim that this is a continuation of The Art Critic I Live With's yellow challenge from yesterday.
My friend, Kathy's challenge for me was to work with diagonal design. It started with shapes that reminded me of buildings cascading down a hill, trees and vegetation all around them. Some of the windows are hidden in the shade and others are reflecting the beautiful sky.
