May 17 - Revisiting an Old One
It is a lot of fun to open one's eyes with new knowledge and find that your knowledge was spot on "back then". When I first encountered the color system in 2003, (before I processed it into the easier to understand system of today), I painted this 12 x 16 landscape. I was trying to pull out all the stops on color, and yet still create something very pleasing to the eye. I do see some rash boldness of experimentation in it, which today pleases me! So older work can continue to inspire, to motivate and to reassure. I do like it when I find an older work that has the spark of what was yet to come!
