In my blog, I am trying various color schemes to expand my painting vocabulary.  To that end, I am selecting a different color scheme/limited palette each week and basing three little 8 x 6   or 10 x 8 paintings upon that color palette.  If you have any suggestions of color palettes I should try, please email me at nanvenhuizen@gmail.com. ( I’d love to have a comment section on this page, but I haven’t yet figured out how to do that!)

 I love Cerulean Blue!  It is the color of clear, lovely skies and shimmering water!  I also really like it when mixed with yellow to make the  bright green that is the color of grass lit by sunshine.  In the following paintings, I used Cerulean blue and yellow to portray the sunlit grass-and to portray the sunlit grass or leaves in each painting.  Also I, of course, used it to portray the bright green cab of the nursery pickup!
