I know that in the past six months I have experimented with pink and yellow... two colors that I have always shied away from and it has opened up new vocabulary to me. Orange, too, actually.<br />I also like the painting. Love the little graphic elements in there.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-87226750837288633952009-04-25T07:35:00.000-03:002009-04-25T07:35:00.000-03:00A Klimt colour palette sounds wonderful and rich, ...A Klimt colour palette sounds wonderful and rich, looking forward to seeing where you take it.jo horswillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297114250711730382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-48503558145533744052009-04-21T11:44:00.000-03:002009-04-21T11:44:00.000-03:00Liberty, thank goodness we've got some warm, sprin...Liberty, thank goodness we've got some warm, spring weather to inspire.<br /><br />Bindu, my new palette is on its way. Yipee!<br /><br />Jeanne, thanks for celebrating with me :) :) :) and letting me know the week long dry time is normal.I'm really excited about the oils. Big bonus: They're going to change everything and like you I find a challenge engaging, plus they just feel right.<br /><br />Mika, thank you. Coming from you that is such a big compliment. I really admire a lot of traditional Japanese work. To me it is perfection, peace, order.<br /><br />Tracy, I'd guessed that pink was your favorite color but wasn't sure- blue seemed a close runner up. I'd never thought of it in terms of energy and warmth. Thanks, that's a very useful insight.<br /><br />Regina, it used to be that when I went to the art store, I'd hunt around for whatever new color that struck my eye. I ended up with way more colors than needed. Now I'm really excited about going back to basics with just 5 colors.<br /><br />Robyn, hope yes. That's my favorite theme.<br /><br />Glennis, he did a good job didn't he? I liked the color quiz at the end too. <br /><br />Patrice, thanks for mentioning Milton Avery. I love his shapes too. Wow!<br /><br />Mary Kate, what a lovely thing to say! I want to remember to say that to people: "Happy Spring"<br /><br />Jane, ooh! That sounds like a great book.<br /><br />Kasey, thanks. Back at you. Your photography is beautiful.Shaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235571582758248746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-61718441881321509192009-04-21T09:38:00.000-03:002009-04-21T09:38:00.000-03:00what a beautiful blog you have here.

I tried thinning with walnut oil and it took a week to dry the first layer - I loved the way the paint moved though - after I'm over this initial thrill of exploration, I will go back to the walnut oil to lay down some pretty amazing layers, but I have to have my patience on for those pieces - the one I let dry for a week, dried to a very shiny gloss which I like! I am so happy that this may be a medium that you can use without the fall out! and in my mind, it's the best!Jeane Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027843717050683473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-62628265008075169672009-04-19T11:54:00.000-03:002009-04-19T11:54:00.000-03:00Hi, Shayla, thanks for visiting me.

But I have discovered that limited is not boring and have come up with rich & beautiful colors while making mixtures of the limited colors.<br />I like the simplicity & peacefulness of you new painting. The pink gives it a life that no other color would have.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120688958195916028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-62158169159507115382009-04-17T11:14:00.000-03:002009-04-17T11:14:00.000-03:00This was a fun post...and your painting to illustr...This was a fun post...and your painting to illustrate your thoughts serves well! Pink has always been my favorite color, so I gravitated to this painting of your right away. It is interesting to how we all react to colors, how we use color, what colors can be used to convey. While essentially the colors are cool in your painting, there is something warm there...the pink adds a heartbeat. I've always admired Klimt's painting. All that gold fascinates me...very dreamy...Happy painting, my friend :o) ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-38489034367354747962009-04-16T21:40:00.000-03:002009-04-16T21:40:00.000-03:00I love your new painting - it reminds me of the tr...I love your new painting - it reminds me of the traditional Japanese/Chinese paintings.
