Abstract #2, Umber-Ochre
Here are two images of the second of two abstract paintings, based on the palette of burnt umber and yellow ochre. This painting relies more heavily on the umber-ochre under painting, so it has a more earth-tone look. The two photos show the painting in different temperatures.

Abstract, based on Umber-Ochre
This is a work in progress. It is based on a tone of burnt umber & yellow ochre, mixed into each of the colors on the palette. The combination is giving a deep warm richness to the overall look. Plus, the colors seem to hang together, since they are all tinted with umber-ochre.
