Two Trees, Abstract #2

I keep telling myself I need to work on a more representational painting, and then I find myself painting a semi-abstract semi-impressionistic thing anyway.

The below is a tonalist landscape using about 4 or 5 colors (burnt umber, burnt sienna, a primary yellow, Charvin's "deep shell" and white, plus I think, a dab of orange).

So I guess, why fight it. Paint what needs to be painted.

I like this one.

And the Centurion primed linen panels from Creative Mark, a Jerry's Artarama higher-end house brand, are very nice to work with...
