A tube of Payne’s Gray paint jumped out and landed in my hand recently. I thought to myself, I don’t use THIS color! Well, I do now. Apparently.
It’s day two into this one. We’ll see where it leads. Payne’s Gray kind of snuck up on me I guess.
Let's keep in touch,

How many shades of red does a painter need? Just one.
More.
I do love the tension created by adjacency of similar colors and similar values. It makes me happy.
Here’s an example of a palette of reds that I find especially visually satisfying. Perylene Red, Quinacridone Magenta, Cadmium Red, and Cadmium Orange.

You see, you can’t please every one. So, you’ve got to please yourself.”

Fall is a spectacular season here in northwest Montana. The weather is cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon, and the colors seem to be especially vibrant this year. Here’s a scene looking east across the Flathead River just north of the village of Bigfork, Montana.
I confess my favorite thing about this time of year is every day we’re one day closer to ski season!
