I didn't expect this attention for this piece, so it is a welcome thing.<BR/><BR/>Jala, I guess temperature is my weakest suit, since I focus on intensity instead.<BR/><BR/>Also, at some point one runs out of tooth, and a failure is "set".<BR/><BR/>So, overcoming the cool nature of the gray La Carte, vs. the Sienna which is my main paper, is a chore. The ones I have done lately seem to be fine, now. I see how the cunning placement of a few warms in the foreground do the trick, and also how my use of ultramarines (French) are better than any turquoise on this paper. Not rocket science, but I'm having fun.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-56847702138099268272009-03-01T06:00:00.000-08:002009-03-01T06:00:00.000-08:00A very powerful pieceA very powerful pieceMaking A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-53104214520914255402009-02-28T23:09:00.000-08:002009-02-28T23:09:00.000-08:00Why have you had "trouble" (hard as that is for me...Why have you had "trouble" (hard as that is for me to believe) with working on gray before?Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-66241214735041910922009-02-27T08:50:00.000-08:002009-02-27T08:50:00.000-08:00Thanks, Trevor.Dark yellow and violet are very sub...Thanks, Trevor.<BR/><BR/>Dark yellow and violet are very sublime, IMO.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-20258964772213396382009-02-27T07:45:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:45:00.000-08:00Hello CaseyA very suttle palette that appeals to m...Hello Casey<BR/>A very suttle palette that appeals to my eye.<BR/>I find this piece very relaxing.<BR/>Kind RegardsTrevor Lingardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296017013239522340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-34674011316527241132009-02-27T07:31:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:31:00.000-08:00Thanks, Miki.I read all of your posts from the MCJ...Thanks, Miki.<BR/><BR/>I read all of your posts from the MCJ workshop - lucky you and thanks for blogging that!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-31743557956477621182009-02-27T06:20:00.000-08:002009-02-27T06:20:00.000-08:00I keep coming back to this painting.
