July: Week 2

So here's where I'm at with my three July canvases...

This first one measures 30" x 40".  Usually, that's a large size for me but after completing my first 36" x 48" canvas last month, this one is feeling a lot more manageable.  It's difficult to see in this shot, but the background is a lovely, textured beige color which Steve calls my "adobe wall".  Here's a detail shot below so maybe you can get a better idea of the texture...

And these two are coming along.  The orange background is finished.  The blue background was finished, until I got carried away and painted the earth too dark.  Drat!  I plan to redo that portion this week in order to lighten it up a bit.

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!
