I'm looking forward to heading back down there on May 15 and 16, and hopefully will have more time to really look at those Pyles!James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-42929272647943718272010-04-26T11:07:13.867-04:002010-04-26T11:07:13.867-04:00Hey Jim,

I spent the entire day there from 10-4 and pretty much had the whole place to myself. What a great museum and only an hour away. Loved your work in the Dinotopia show - very inspiring!!<br /><br />It's ironic to read this post since during my visit, I went through the museum's Howard Pyle rooms a second time with a docent. She explained that Pyle would teach his students to use line, color, etc. to capture the mood of the story. One painting we ended up talking about in length was "The Flying Dutchman". She asked the group, "What do you see first?" I replied, "Those haunting red eyes..." It's those red eyes and red sash against that big sea of blue-green that makes the dutchman so compelling.<br /><br />Just thought I'd share.

Save your dramatic color note and play it with all the drama that is in you.”<br /><br />What a great quote, and how true. Dramatic scenes are hard to concieve, but this is a fine ideal to work with in that scenario. Thanks for sharing this great bit of advice!<br />-WillWill Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776250635500898092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-77903912765390104342010-04-24T14:28:01.007-04:002010-04-24T14:28:01.007-04:00maybe he means the other flag there are TWO in the...maybe he means the other flag there are TWO in the picture.... it almost blends in with the clouds but you can clearly see the finial of the flag pole in the upper right hand corner which is almost exactly matches the tip of the the true red green flag finial... and no I do not think it is a spear covered in clouds.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-19247981470026739152010-04-24T13:06:32.933-04:002010-04-24T13:06:32.933-04:00I really like Schoonover -- maybe he thinks of gre...I really like Schoonover -- maybe he thinks of green as a cool yellow....Daroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269629297022511462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29035180688763403672010-04-24T12:21:50.720-04:002010-04-24T12:21:50.720-04:00I love to play bright colors against greys--got it...I love to play bright colors against greys--got it from Ingres.jeff jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996337570175075303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-64512888277835530922010-04-24T12:05:01.807-04:002010-04-24T12:05:01.807-04:00Perhaps he used a fugitive yellow? ;)Perhaps he used a fugitive yellow? ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607915384543024448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-57933208150218576792010-04-24T11:07:10.926-04:002010-04-24T11:07:10.926-04:00Hey James,

Although to me it appears to be yellow and red.Jason Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851518051471565619noreply@blogger.com
