Summer Colours and Greyhounds

6/26/2022 5:38:21 AM | By Louise Charles-Saarikoski | Comment on this

I have enjoyed painting with a green and pink colour palette since the start of the spring, and including it with my greyhound and galgo Espanol paintings. 

 

Even before I actually saw any green growth this year, I started mixing different shades of green in anticipation. I went back to an idea I had last year with the painting spring fever (see below). I do not use green too much in paintings so it was nice to observe all the greens in the forest where we live and as spring arrived, that very special fresh (spring) green! However, my favourite shade has been the greyish green which has gone so well with the pinks I have used as with the painting Patience above.

 

That said, with summer holidays fast approaching I am already starting to think about the colour palette I should be using as we head into autumn. Watch this space...

On the one black, one white greyhound theme again.

 

Always good to have more than one greyhound. There is always a leader and I have again used the lighter coloured sighthound stepping out in front, although they are both quite confidently trotting in the same direction.

 

Most of my sighthound paintings are inspired by my galgo Espanol whose favourite pace is a brisk trot when she is on the leash. I love to watch her smooth, flowing action and how she covers the ground so easily.

 

I have chosen brighter colours for this painting. The painting needed something to contrast with the strong pink and that is why I added the bright green.
