Nice to see an update here:thumbsup:. If my monitor is displaying it ok, this last picture it feels (to me at least) like those raw photos without the exposure curve applied to bring the information and detail (or just light) in shadows. As the raw photos, in your painting there is no something wrong, but that could use some fine tunning or adjustement. Honestly, i wouldn´t change the painting, i´m commenting this in case you are not fully aware of this.

post more often man.

Thanks Juan.
I’m not sure what you mean with your comment though. The last painting has very dark areas -alizarin crimson with phthalo green or phthalo blue make a really dark black- which was perfectly intended. Anyway, it looks ok on my hardware calibrated monitor. The real painting does look better though, but this is always the case… a photo never does justice to a painting.

Well, this year is ending in a few hours.

Happy [color=Orange]New Year to everyone!

I´m seeing it in another monitor and the difference is unvelievable. I was not talking about the bg though, is just that the other monitor wasn´t showing a lot of the middle tones in the overall darker areas.

Have a good year you too!

Cheers.

Happy New year too Johan :slight_smile:
Nice happy flower painting - did you end up unwrapping it? I like your goal of 52 paintings this year, wish I could do that! Drawings definitely, but paintings seem to take me a lot longer to finish - it is an inspiring thought though :slight_smile:

All the best for you and your family :wavey:

Hey, Johan! How are you doing? I’ve visited your blog (must confess, it’s been a while) and, man, you’ve gotten real good! I followsthis artist’s blog and seeing your stuff reminded me of him. Take a look at his work if you haven’t seen it already. Small paintings of small things, beautiful stuff, mate! Congrats :slight_smile:

i love the concept of the flower piece, it just makes you look really hard at what is going on there.
