"Goin' Fishin' on the Gulf Islands Seashore", 14x11, oil on canvas-$600I think my memory is getting really bad. I honestly can't remember things well anymore. For instance, last weekend, as soon as I got home from San Diego, I painted this commission piece for a client:
I really liked the way that it came out, and today when I decided to do the painting of the heron above, I wanted to use the same palette. Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was! I knew I had restricted the palette to a warm and cool of each of the primaries, as well as a warm and cool green. That was it. So today I tried to do the same thing but obviously I didn't use the same colors.I think from now on, I am going to record the colors that I use, so that I'll remember them in the future. For the heron painting above I used a really cool palette, and now I wish I had made it warmer. Anyhow, I wanted to do this painting of a great blue heron because they are such lovely , graceful birds, especially as they begin to alight, and also to keep the public aware of how important it is to preserve the fragility of the eco-system in the Gulf of Mexico. I did not look at the news today about the oil spill. It has been getting me really depressed so I decided to avoid it altogether. I hope somehow this will not be as bad as it seems to be right now.
