Black Eyed Peas and The Red Chair

Boy do I have some blogging to do today! It will take three posts to get everything! So I'll wait here while you go get your reading glasses & a nice big cup of coffee!
OK, first I'll give you news of Black Eyed Peas and the Three Chairs Triptych. Of course they turned out to be too individual to be called a triptych. Would be very nice all three together as a group hanging or something, in fact they are quite a family of chairs, yes like the three bears.
So the red chair is the first one. Yes, yes, Mister Black and Doodle are back in the paintings, but just as in real life not the focal point. It is the black-eyed peas' turn.
The plate of butter was fun to paint.
Did you notice the little edge of it missing? Hmm wonder how that happened. Mister Black is awfully fat.
I really enjoyed messing with the different shades of red.
It is hard to mix white and red without getting pink. Hard to mix a color for a red highlight. I usually mix some green into the red to deintensify it, but have to be careful not to muddy it so much that it gets murky.
But before we fall asleep in the first chair let's go on to the second chair...
