A cool blue and hot red make a red letter day.

#17 Lone Oak, Golden Sunset on a Blue Day
Blue and Gold! This was fun. When I started this series I only had planned to do five, I can't believe that I'm on number 17.
#15 Lone Oak, Fire and Ice
I think this is about as hot as you can get. Silver and red are such classic colors — think 'little red sports car' with chrome trim.
#16 Lone Oak, Embers and Charcoal
Cool teal and warm orange to spice things up. Reminds me of warm mulled spiced wine.

#13 Lone Oak, End of Gray Day
Oregon has so many gray days! In color theory I learned that there are 32 shades of gray discernible to the naked eye. We get them all in Oregon in for 6 months out of the year — usually along with a lot of rain. It's been gray and cold so I think I'm needing a lot of sunshine, a.k.a. yellow and orange!
#14 Lone Oak, Coral Twilight
I guess the weather is showing up in my painting again. This is another one that took on a life of its own the minute I place the first stroke of color down in the field. It's amazing when that happens, it's like someone else is painting.

#11 Lone Oak, Autumn Glow
This painting says "joy" to me. I'm loving painting this series. I'm making discoveries that I never would if I had painted a different composition each time. It's become a journey.
#12 Lone Oak, Flame and Blue
This blue was really luscious to paint. Again, this also has a happy feel to it. I think that yellow and orange remind us of the sun. What could make you happier than a summer day with blue and yellow-orange?

#9 Lone Oak, Early Morning
Both of the paintings I'm posting today had a mind of their own. Painting number 9 was in the drivers seat -- it decided to paint itself. It's a very strange feeling!
#10 Lone Oak, Evening Storm
This is the first time I've tried to paint a "night" painting. Well, I don't think I was in charge, but I like the way it turned out.
I'm posting 2 paintings so that I can catch up to my challenge to paint 30 painting in 30 days.

#7 Lone Oak, spring wildflowers
This turned out to be really cheerful. It's amazing how few "flowers" it takes to give the impression of spring.
I've been having problems uploading my images for the '30 paintings in 30 days challenge' to my blog and have gotten behind. I will post a couple of on each blog and eventually get caught up.
I started out with a plan for this painting, but as soon as I placed the first spot of color in the field, it was like the painting made another decision for me. This is where it took me. I guess it's all about the journey.
