Color Studies 8 x 10 inch oil

These two paintings are the result of my experimentation with color.  I tend to stick with the "real" local color in most of my paintings but I thought I would just use colors that I love and the combinations kinda worked!  These two were from some photos I had taken while kayaking this summer and although the area was very beautiful all I saw in the photos was green. I took a chance and made these two a fall landscape and I am pleased with the results.  These are for sale for $100 each on Dailypaintworks.com.
