White Cranes

This is the second painting using a limited palette of:

Cad Yellow light

Cad orange

Alizarin Crimson Perm

Thalo Blue

Black

Turquoise

The white cranes were really the problem to solve.  Remembering white is a middle value in shadow helped.  I didn't get the vibrant colors to show in the photo. This is the centerpiece in my dining room.
