And yes, some of the yellow is in the green range; I didn't want the color to be too warm. As with all my paintings, the color is very mixed; here my palette included cadmium yellow medium, french ochre, ultramarine blue, cadmium red medium, chrome oxide green, burnt sienna, burnt umber, and of course some titanium white.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-71309852146110061032010-07-07T10:15:31.437-04:002010-07-07T10:15:31.437-04:00Hi Altoon-

On the screen it has a green tint.<br />As for hanging, I like the idea of groupings with lines, depending upon the image content, colors, shape/dimension, etc....

You have such a keen eye. I like yellow angles, but when looking on a computer screen, I don't really think of its small size. I always imagine them much larger than they are.Maggie Nealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793869416867166254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-74841135745686158692010-07-07T07:14:23.675-04:002010-07-07T07:14:23.675-04:00thanks rappel, so I should think of this painting ...thanks rappel, so I should think of this painting as a success. I wouldn't do a larger version (I was thinking of 5 inches instead of 4) because it would bore me. I've never liked repeating an image because there are so many ideas to explore. As for 'not small', I so like working with this size range, that I want to keep up with it for now. <br />I've always enjoyed arranging my own solo shows, with input from the gallerist, though many artists prefer not.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-25945735557388472942010-07-06T21:50:17.362-04:002010-07-06T21:50:17.362-04:00I like "yellow angles" a lot also. and s...I like "yellow angles" a lot also. and since you have some reservations about size why not do a large version just to see it? I've also wondered about some of your recent smalls: how would they look not small? <br />I like the idea of playing with groupings and lines in the same exhibition space, things talk differently depending on where they are placed. when the artist does the arranging it's one thing, when a curator arranges it's something else. as an artist I would rather have someone else contend with arrangement and grouping, but that's just because I don't think of those things unless pressed.rappelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569445602513667186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-4656285446748351452010-07-06T21:36:55.620-04:002010-07-06T21:36:55.620-04:00hi Gainor, and thanks so much for your wonderful c...hi Gainor, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment on painting and blog; it's also great to know that my book inspired your use of egg tempera. We so often labor away without knowing if our work touches anyone, so communication such as this is much appreciated.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-1741093486598879722010-07-06T19:01:06.060-04:002010-07-06T19:01:06.060-04:00Hello Altoon,
I LOVE Yellow Angles....beautiful. ...Hello Altoon, <br />I LOVE Yellow Angles....beautiful. I have never made a comment on your blog before...shy I guess. But I have to tell you that you taught me to do Egg Tempera via your book, about 8 years ago. I fell in love with the medium, and was totally inspired by your writing and your artwork. I still work in other mediums but ET will eventually win out in the end, as I downsize my lifestyle.<br /><br />I subscribed to your blog quite some time ago and, again, I wanted to thank you for your beautiful photos of the woods, moss, flowers, and life around you...I live in Florida now where we don't get the thrill of the first crocus poking through the snow. I appreciate your sharing your multi-faceted life with us, as it is such a pleasure to read your blog entries!<br /><br />Cheers...<br />GainorGainorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329346095437429285noreply@blogger.com
