Reflections is the latest painting to come from the studio. I didn't set out to include so many reflective objects in my scene, but as it evolved more of more shiny objects seemed to find their way in there. Some of them were easier to paint than others. I must have wiped off and repainted the bronze planter three or four times before I was happy with it, for example. The biggest struggle I had with painting it was keeping the color harmony correct within the bronze. Finally, I remembered one of the things Richard Schmid talks a lot about in his videos, using your color charts when painting. I must admit I've let mine collect a little dust over the last year or two, but I don't think I'll let that happen again. As soon as I pulled them out and studied which ones had the colors I was seeing in the bronze things came together quickly with the painting. Lesson learned. Thank you Mr. Schmid!
