I saw your recent show at Mackenzie and loved it. (It led me to your blog, rather than the other way around.) I appreciate your range of approaches and the direct way you write about them. And I particularly like the color in the "Upright" above.--best, Leslie Roberts <br />aka lesliejaneroberts at gmail.Leslie Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248949644461984793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-22970426309095766022015-01-16T20:00:44.052-05:002015-01-16T20:00:44.052-05:00Surprising you'd lilac that.Surprising you'd lilac that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-65063513387131754742015-01-16T18:04:33.870-05:002015-01-16T18:04:33.870-05:00Well, purple is one of my favorite colors.

And I always like looking a the juxtaposition of slight shifts of hue in similar-value neighbors. I think it buzzes with some kind of energy.Susan Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249426819285565971noreply@blogger.com
