Every time I type the word palette I seem to spell it wrong, butchering something, somewhere, somehow. I’m not the best of spellers, but there is no need for this mishap when you use the damn thing everyday.

palette

A palette (IPA: /ˈpælɨt/) is: (1) a surface on which a painter mixes colour pigments. A palette may be made of wood, glass, plastic, ceramic tile or other inert material and can vary greatly in size and shape. The most commonly known type of painter’s palette is made of thin wood board designed to be held in the artist’s hand and rest on the artist’s arm; (2) the range of colors in a given work or item or body of work.-wikipedia

conceptual notes

Heads of sorrow was sketched only as heads existing on a single plane, without the simplistic sculpture in the distance or the translucent pond in the foreground. The initial sketch, named “balancing act”, was only of the heads themselves.

conceptual notes

Desolate thought contains themes constantly portrayed in my many different works. This piece was originally sketched as the stones by themselves, containing no stairways, openings, or other focal points.

Some stones challenge normal perceptions and clash with the paintings chosen perspective. The large stones atop may sit flush with the ground or sit raised because of the small stones under them in combination with the lack of shadow. No shadows have been attributed anywhere to create further blending of the two different perspectives.
