After doing a bit of research on Czech Republic I was inspired to do this painting of a Bohemian forest, painted in the psychedelic style. It isn't exactly a world inspired landscape, but an abstract palette cleanser. At any rate, it was fun to paint something since my bike trip was a bust in terms of painting. I did pick up some great food out at Anatol our favorite bulk store in Little Italy. The weather was surprisingly nasty today, it started with flurries and the wind picked up. At least the roads were okay for cycling after the melt. On the topic of the painting, I used various earth paints including yellow ochre (PY43). For a long time I despised yellow ochre, but the brand I have now (from Da Vinci company) is really good to handle and has a warm yellow glow. Looking back on this painting I kind of like it better for the World Inspired Landscape: Czechia.
