Amazing huh. I think you are just thinking too much, stop thinking and just paint as you always have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1165266011020825762006-12-04T16:00:00.000-05:002006-12-04T16:00:00.000-05:00I agree with Lisa: Your color isn't green or yell...I agree with Lisa: Your color isn't green or yellow. It's magenta. I think magenta every time I think of your paintings.<BR/><BR/>But then I like magenta. My earliest airbrush work was all in one color, which was magenta. I'm a big fan. I don't use it much any more, but I still like it.<BR/><BR/>My guess would be the yellow is to balance out the purple, and the green the red.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1165261215530101182006-12-04T14:40:00.000-05:002006-12-04T14:40:00.000-05:00Thanks Birgit, for visiting and for the compliment...Thanks Birgit, for visiting and for the compliment regarding my color. Sometimes my breakthroughs happen during a breakdown, but usually they happen when I am working feverishly to meet a deadline. I much prefer the latter:-)<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I know, they are the work horses. Thanks for the input-it is nice to know that my work isn't thought of as green and yellow. Because that it NOT how I see it either.<BR/><BR/>I did see Shan's post and immediately thought of my predicament. For now I think I have decided to go with it and not think about it all so much. Clearly that is what gets me into trouble:-)Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1165255185134234332006-12-04T12:59:00.000-05:002006-12-04T12:59:00.000-05:00Wow Tracy - when I think of your work I think blue...Wow Tracy - when I think of your work I think blue, pink, purple. So I had to go look - and sure enough there are the yellows and greens - where did those come from? <BR/><BR/>Did you see Shan's recent post about color? (one or two posts ago). She had some similar thoughts about the colors she thought Van Gogh was using but the discovered it was a lot more green than she expected.<BR/><BR/>Color is a funky thing. Thanks for talking in more detail about what you've been feeling. You have a good guy there supporting you.Lisa Callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757517309377110626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1165250634091154842006-12-04T11:43:00.000-05:002006-12-04T11:43:00.000-05:00Tracy, I adore your colors. From reading your post...Tracy,<BR/><BR/> I adore your colors. From reading your post on Friday, I thought that you were ready for a new direction. My favorite, somewhat hackneyed, phrase is that 'in every breakdown, there is a breakthrough'. It appears that that is already happening to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
