"Yellow Crane on Red", oil on canvas board, 6"x8"

Happy New Year!

It has been a VERY LONG TIME since I have done any painting! I guess I underestimated how returning to work, even part-time, would mess me up. I have been spoiled. But it's a new year, and I am determined to get back to painting. So even if I get a full-time job, I hope I can paint, and post, more often in the coming year.

This painting is awkward and muddy, but it's a (re)start. I was surprised to see that yellow+red=green (in the shadows on the yellow paper, but not too obvious in this photo.)
