My interest and love of painting is centered around color more than subject matter. Knowing how to mix and match color is an art in itself. I enjoy creating new colors from existing colors. My latest palette is a combination of rich colors and tones. I never buy purple because I can create rich colors and shades of purple using different tones of blue and pink. I create peach and orange using tones of pink and yellow and of course yellow and red. The lime green I created and later added to my palette completes the color scheme and makes the paintings pop. Using paint straight from the tube is so ordinary; mixing and creating different colors is what excites me. See the rest of my newest palette collection at the 2nd Saturday, Reception at Distinction Gallery and Artist Studios. 317 E Grand Ave. Escondido. March 12th, 6-10pm. Stop by studio 6 to check out my newest and the work of other great artists. Enjoy a piece of my birthday cake when you visit. Thanks for reading my blog update!
