This work for sale on my "Will Paint for Gas"
blog...
oil 5" x 7"
Some know that I use a limited palette,
which consists of a French Ultramarine
Blue, W&N Bright Red, a Cadmium Lemon
Yellow, Naples Yellow...and white. I will
use Viridian or thalo green at times to
tweak my blues or vary darks. I mix all
my own darks, do not use black.
Well...I mention that because today's
assignment to myself was to interpret
this chub in a more contemporary
colorfully saturated manner to test how
far I could push color from this palette.
Hope you enjoy it...

wow, love those rich, vibrant colors for such a simple object. Great work Larry! Thanks for keeping the site updated, I enjoy looking each day at what you're doing, and the reminder to find beauty in the most ordinary of subjects! Val
thanks Val...it was fun to discover really how unlimiting a limited palette is if handled creatively...appreciate your comments!
beautiful! I love the colors and lines - gives the simple fish such an interesting dimension. I've been experimenting with a limited palette lately in my landscape work also
I added your site to my blogroll on my painting blog at http://micahcondon.blogspot.com
its all about seeing Micah...and human need and convention can get surprisingly much out of very little, such as making a limited palette work.
Good luck to you...thanks for sharing your site. I'll try and find time to take more than a quick perusal of it.
peace
