Obviously, that has implications beyond making strong paintings. <br /><br />This must have been such an exacting and challenging image to paint. The print version of this was compelling, this gif makes the point even more forcefully.

That has to be seen anew every day. IMO, that is the challenge and beauty of color.scottThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033264210231543212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-32231035843380720112019-03-24T15:21:24.199-04:002019-03-24T15:21:24.199-04:00James:

Some might think of auras and synesthesia as well.<br />Question: Since color can stimulate an emotional response, could't an emotional response toward an individual stimulate a response in the visual system's color processing, producing the perception of color? And/or, couldn't an emotional response to a particular color and mood draw more attentions to that color? E.g. a slight olive tint in a flesh tone seem emphasized?<br />Timothy Bollenbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493798661089822651noreply@blogger.com
