Thanks Betty for reading and checking out this blog post!!
I’m glad you like the painting. It was very personal piece but certainly in another situation, I may have left out the hot water heater!

It’s beautiful! I did think the water heater was a little distracting, but then, I’ve never been to that part of Mexico and maybe they are more important to the story you’re telling than I can see. Thanks for your blog and all you do!

So glad you found it helpful Cheryl!
Yes! the limitations in a palette can be sooooo frustrating!! At the same time, that limitation can push our work into places we would never normally go and that can often be a very good thing.

I love your blogs because they show me your thought process. Really appreciate that as well as the step by step pictures. Between those two, things make more sense. I look forward to each blog. Thank you so much!

I am also frustrated by a limited palette of soft pastels in my meager collection but I fall upon mixing too. Thanks, it inspires me.

How lovely to hear it was fun Ruth!
I’ll be interested to hear how you make out painting with only the Sennelier pack of 20!!

I definitely can relate to some of your struggles! I just bought the 20-pc box of Senneliers to try. Will see what happens. Your beach towels and bathing suit waving in the wind shows through and reminds me of how nice it is to be at the beach. As always, thanks for sharing!!
