11 x 14 inches .. oil on paper .. Alla Prima .. painted Mar. 29/24
.. using the mother color but staying mostly away from my undiluted piles of mother influenced paint. I used to go back to the undiluted red/yelow/blue or whatever but I am learning or relearning that I don't need the pure pigment to give a painting a colorful life. I still dipped a little more than I needed to as I don't need to dip at all as that is the power of the mother color. Stay within the confines. Going forward I will remember this. The mother is the mother of all and it is all you need to get your point across. The painting might look a little lifeless from close up but when you give it it's distance it flowers before your eyes. It's the magic of painting.
