More New Paintings

Catching up, yet again. Here are my latest paintings, which includes Orange & White No. 7; three new additions to the Blue series; the first two of a new series titled Yellow Ochre & Brown; two additions to the Black & White series; two additions to the Brown & White series and four new additions to the Jazz series.

Note that, in Jazz 13 through Jazz 16 the heavy texture in the black ground, which was a feature of the first twelve paintings in the series, has not been carried through to these latest four additions. This is due to using fluid black acrylic for the ground, as opposed to the black tube color used in the first paintings. The fluid acrylic, being thinner, doesn't create the heavy textural effects I was getting previously. So, the look is somewhat different in these latest versions.

Also of note is the switch to a different blue in Blue No. 12 and Blue No. 13. This was simply due to the fact I was out of the original blue at the time and so used what I had on hand. I was thinking the two blues were more nearly the same, but, as it turned out, they are slightly different in hue and intensity. Actually, I personally prefer the muted blue of these latest two paintings.
