Some already out there in a gallery

Well I have three canvasses in various stages of wet , two off to the gallery in Newburyport and two maybe showing up at Wassabi steak house in Salem NH. Love their Sushi. My wife hit it off with the owners immediately and convinced them I should display a few now and then. The two they have is the Old Chinese fisherman and teh latest one. This again was a photo from my trip to China . This time a garden in Wuxi.

For this one I went complicated and lots of different mixing and layers of color. Still I worked with less than a dozen colors I am sure. To achieve the orange flowers was simply Vermillion , cad yellow and white. I added alizarin crimson only in the leafs at the lower right corner so my usual pallet of White, Raw umber, Burnt sienna, black, ultramarine blue,sap green and cad yellow is still my limitations. I decided i needed a MOON picture so I went to slightly different colored pallet. Thalo blue, white, yellow ochre, sap green, raw umber, and vermillion and alizarin crimson. The sky is swirled in thalo blue, umber and white....lots of random swirls. When this dries I have to start glazing in the shadows on the petals. I want to darken them with a shadow to create dimension but I do not want to mix colors into there hue. This is where glazing with thin color and heavy medium will darken

without discoloring my pink pedals. I'm not sure where I am going with this painting as I have no reference image ; it is just a thought out of my head.
