Thoughts on Painting

"the first thing you see is the last thing you do." Helen Van Wyk book: Welcome to My Studio

You can really build on this remark. and..."the silhouette of her hair as it encountered the background." Poetry!

Paint colors are a keyboard of opportunity. They relate to sharps and flats, major and minor. It is not a stretch to think this way. A quiet color.... a feeling evoked. Grey....and all it's implications, alone or in a mix. A dark for emphasis!
