Comments or Critiques welcomed...always!July 5, 2018 at 6:27 pm #653747Grays are nearly the most attractive colors, yellows have them beat but just barely. You have made gray look incredible here, and I see this market of paintings simply not have enough representation (and none of it half as good as what you have shared). Do you walk around with a camera at all times just seeking out references for these?
- Delo DelofashtJuly 5, 2018 at 7:26 pm #653754Ken: thanks my friend I AM a man of mystery. Not sure it will be a new direction, but really a learning experience.
Delo: you know what? that sky is yellow in #2 and no matter what I tried I could not get it to post that way. I even saturated the yellow a bit in photoshop….no go.
So , imagine it with gray AND yellow good buddy. Thanks so much.

One blue sky above us,
One ocean lapping all our shore,
One Earth so green and round,
Who could ask for more. ....Pete SeegerJuly 6, 2018 at 9:58 am #653755Hi Alan: the difficult thing was to get a variety of grays warm/cool as Ken mentioned; Thanks
Thanks Dave and Gary, my friends
