First pass, abstract in blue
This is phase no. 1, laying down the foundation palette of umber-burnt sienna, in differing values. Believe it or not, this painting will ultimately be primarily in blues, but first we lay the groundwork in palette and composition.

Abstract, umber-burnt sienna
The palette for this abstract is a warmer, more soothing umber: it has the red of burnt sienna mixed in. The past two abstracts were based on umber-ocher, which has a yellowish brown tone. This is a work in progress. I'll post the finished product later.
