I have a new approach to swatching where I can note transparency, lift, and light fastness. When my Curry’s art supply store moved away I picked up new colours on sale and it was fun to do new tests because the task is already started!

High Park Hillside Garden
My friend Ileen and I stole a couple of quiet hours in High Park today, to do some oil painting. We found a spot next to a bridge that had been chained off for no apparent reason. the changing light made me quit after about an hour and a half, so as not to blend too much trying to accommodate the light. I want nice chunks of paint colour to rest where they’re placed, to make a kind of colour poem. The red underpainting peeking through helps pull it all together. Ileen pointed out that Tom Thompson used red underpainting, and I googled who invented it- Titian?
