More Changes...



Here is another painting that I started about eight years ago and just recently worked back into it. This really illustrates the shift in my personal palette! The original version (top) had lots of contrast with bold, "out of the tube" colors. I also worked in some collage...mostly wallpaper scraps, which I was experimenting with at that time. It was too loud for my current preferences, so I toned it down...way down. When I work back into these paintings, I never pull out my original references. I just work from my head on all of the changes. It forces me to be more original and creative.
