Color swatches and class demos... thinking through color, and getting acquainted with some recent additions to my palette. I'm especially excited about those violets. Egyptian violet is one of those colors that I have longed for in the paint aisle for at least a decade. I finally bought a tube last week, and it's even better than I'd hoped. Expect a myriad of violet-greys and grey-violets in future paintings.

I'm delighted to have this piece and another in an upcoming exhibition at Southside Gallery! This group show originated at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, LA early last year; however, the second installment of the exhibition was postponed because of COVID. With that in mind, I am especially grateful to Joseph Holzapple and the kind people at Southside Gallery for making this happen now.
