I’m behind on posting (but not painting!) — here’s the one I did on Saturday. Another koi — I think of this one as ‘the beauties and the beast!, because that fish looks like a torpedo or something lethal.
As for mixing the greens, I decided to slightly increase the odds of good leaf color by adding chromium oxide green to my palette for this one.

Eastern Shore Blues. Oil on Linen. 2017. 16 x 20
My husband and I love to go driving on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. There are always luscious views of marshes, fields, the bay, and the many streams that flow into it. Fertile ground for painting. This new painting will be shown for the first time at our upcoming exhibit at Gallery B in Bethesda.
