Two More Paintings - officially done

After i spent the weekend with the painting at home, i realized that it needed more red, a color i have hesitated using in my paintings. I have this love/hate relationship with red. But, in this painting, because it is more subdued, i felt it was time to use my cadium red. I rarely use it directly out of the tube. "Japanese Girls' Day" is 2 ft X 4 ft, oil and beeswax on canvas.
And preparing for the October Open Studios - another for the Trees Posing series called "Nine Trees Posing". It has an odd size, i think 14 in X 22 in.
