messing with paints

I just don't seem to be able to paint with reds, I try, but I just end up painting over them, it's all blues and green. Must be my calm tranquil period. 

Something missing on here so I took it outside and photographed with sun, shadows and plants.

                                          hum... is it missing spiky skinny yellows..?

                                              oranges and bright yellow greens...?

 

or pinks...?

                                   Will leave it for another day... 

and go back to these green Shropshire landscapes which I don't seem to be able to escape from...
