Painting in Process

Encouraged to work larger, I am painting a 60 x 40" aerial view entitled Beyond the Bikepath.
I painted the monochromatic underpainting with acrylics. Now that I have blocked in the colors I think that the freshness of the underpainting is more successful than the colored version. I'm going to experiement with a limited palette and perhaps change the colors again once I have done these experiments.

Hi Betsy, I have read your blog on and off since you sent me the link but I must admit that it's been mostly off lately. However, you have been on my mind more and more as I have finally resolved to apply to MFA programs. Your paintings have really changed direction and I think they are amazing. I hope you are doing well and that you are enjoying your journey. Warmest regards, Denise
