About Me
- Mineke Reinders
- Illinois, United States
- Through this blog I would like to make my paintings more widely available to view and to buy. By keeping my blog paintings small, I can post a new one here (almost) every day, and also keep them affordable. I work primarily in watercolor and gouache, and while my choice of subject matter is not limited to one genre, you will see that I am especially drawn to all aspects of life in the city. The paintings on this blog are available for purchase unless otherwise indicated, and include a white, acid-free mat and backing board. Costs for shipping, insurance, and sales tax where applicable, will be added. Payment is possible through PayPal; no account needed and all major credit cards accepted. I welcome your comments on my work - thanks for visiting!

Oh man, your work never ceases to amaze me!
This is so beautiful and well done! In my opinion your struggle with greens was extremely succeeded here.
The blue and white do nicely plus you have a small swatch of burnt sienna. To me it looks like the struggle with green is paying off :)
Oh, Mineke! This is absolutely magnificent! Bravo!
Beautiful, Mineke! Such a great variety of cool and warm greens... and that little touch of burnt sienna catches the eye as if to tease it. Wonderful work as always!
So nice to 'see' you again...!
On the contrary, I think you intermixed and juxtaposed the greens in a very pleasing composition. Well done!
OMG--I almost missed this (too much work work ...)--it's a masterpiece of green--really and truly. Astounding: I have to come back and study it!! I am in awe.
I think we all need to do something similar as an exercise for using greens. I find I still try to avoid green landscapes for fear of failure. Yours worked well. Maybe a small dab of a daring red would have made a punch.
Thank you all so much for your feedback and support. I really appreciate it!
For those of you who spotted a touch of burnt sienna in this painting: that color is in fact not even on my palette. I wanted to introduce - as Jean suggested - a spot of bright red (a few poppies) there, but I did not like the result, scrubbed out most of the vermillion but left a little color, then overpainted it with green.
I struggled with this 'frontal attack on green' but I'm glad I pushed ahead, as I do feel much more comfortable with it now.
Mineke, I LOVE this! it is perfect...no need to fret about the green or greens.
Maggie
Thanks so much Maggie. I'm almost done fretting..
