Painting in Pairs, oil painting in process

Somber Tones ll, 20" x 20", o/c

Today I started a new painting to complement the one I started yesterday. It makes sense to me to design the paintings in pairs, as it allows for a greater scope and discovery of the palette as well as offering the option of extending the painting to a diptych effect or just a complement piece relating on an adjacent wall. The dark tones are quite dark and are a little bit difficult to see their hue, but it will be quite striking when the adjacent blocks are painted.
