And, I find the posting preceeding this one (your happy palette) very pleasing as well. And, I think you work well with both palettes as evidenced in these two contrasting pictures.<br /><br />Just a general observation regarding your shifts from brighter to more subdued palettes: In your brighter pictures, your darks often lack a certain punch because of your avoidance of what might be called a non-color, namely blacks or monochromes quite close to blacks. That might explain why I enjoy the tonal punch that this picture provides with the strong "non-pretty" dark accents. This general comment bears also on the painting you are having difficulties with (Key Limes and Purple Cup). In this picture, I think it could be further improved by the addition of some brighter and darker cools. It seems overall "hot" (I seem to feel a lack of some more vibrant and darker blues/blue-violets in the overall warm red-violet cup, as well as a lack of some more cooling tones in the lemons). Perhaps "black" is not the answer for accenting these brighter chromatic pictures, but a darker and more colorful accent for core shadows and cast shadows might bring tonal and color harmony to these "pumped up" color palettes. <br /><br />Your camera adjustments have made a great difference in reading the pictures online.<br /><br />Congrats on your joining D.P.O.!Clyde Semlerhttp://clydesemler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163972070024237457.post-75111177548567228962010-11-09T09:56:47.288-08:002010-11-09T09:56:47.288-08:00Très belle composition avec des nuances blondes et...Très belle composition avec des nuances blondes et très douces...
