Back to Indiana and Illinois in November

Every year, we travel through Indiana and Illinois to visit my in-laws in Missouri.  It is very flat, with lots of farms and very few towns.  

Even More Limited Palette Ohio Landscapes

If you've been following this blog, you've probably noticed that lately I tend to work in very limited palettes of 3 up to about 5 colors. The colors vary slightly, but typically include some kind of red, blue, and yellow. You can see other examples, here, here, and here.

Some Experiments in Color

A few weeks ago, I rambled about a workshop I'm taking with Barb Smucker on color.  She started by talking about gray scale value, moving to limited palettes, and then to color.  (If you live in the Cincinnati Metro area and ever have an opportunity to take a workshop with Barb, I'd highly recommend it.)  My reinterpretation of her lessons in value are here.
