ASPARAGUS

7x5 oil on Arches Oil Paper

First I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes!!  Y'all are wonderful!!!

Next, I want to confess that I have been intimidated by asparagus for a long time.  I know ..... it's only a vegetable, but so many greens!  Today is the day to attack and conquer.  Once I started I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  So now I can cross asparagus off my intimidation list!

Day 3 and the challenge continues to be fun.  All the artists have done remarkable work since 30/30 began and I've enjoyed seeing the creativity. 

On this painting I used a black ground allowing some of it to show through.  I wanted to explore greens a little more and the leaves of the tulips provided that opportunity.  The background color is the leftover paint from the previous day's painting.  It all provides color harmony that is easy to achieve with this limited palette.

Please take a look at all the fantastic work being done with this challenge by going to Leslie Saeta's blog.  You will not be disappointed!
