GRAY and WHITE

 It has been snow white in Garrett County these past weeks.  Now the landscape is  gray, especially along the roads.  It is amazing to see the amount of  road grit on the snow.   So in the spirit of gray, I decided to play around painting gray buildings in a snow scene.    Gray is made by mixing complementary paints.   I used three primary colors and mixed them in various combinations to either blue the gray, red the gray etc.  This painting was done using a combination of ultramarine blue,  permanent rose and hansa yellow.
