8x10 Oil on Board
I'm still working with a limited palette, focusing on values. Often a black and white value study will have lots of drama, and then when color is added to the mix, the drama can disappear and the picture flattens out. I want to make the transition from "monochrome" drama to having the same effect using color. Its basically maintaining the strong value patterns using color, which is a lot more difficult.

I continue to find these rain paintings beautiful. They are full of atmosphere and mystery. Well done!
Wonderful, CJ! I love the way those buildings in the background disappear into the fog.
You are so right about values, they make or break the painting.
Amazing what a limited palette can do...such a richness here. Great compostion too.
I love how the building really stands out against the atmospheric surroundings - very bold.
This is my new favorite - stunning.

strong, beautiful composition.great atmosphere once again
I think it keeps its restraint quite nicely.
That is excellent, makes me wish I was in that scene!
This is really nice, as are so many of the others I've missed until now. You've been busy!
I like the subtle colors everywhere but on the building. It's true how strong color can disrupt the balance of values. Always more to learn!!
