My “Palettes” project began about six years
ago when I made nine monumental landscape paintings (unframed shapes of huge
rocks with invented color) taken from “Devil’s Garden,” a unique rock formation
twelve miles east of Escalante, Utah. I used a different palette for each
painting, in the shape of the painting, which eventually became nine much
smaller versions of the paintings. The paintings were shown at the site. That is
Series 1.
Palettes-Series 6, deals with famous artists and
their palettes.
This new work attempts to convey to the internet viewer the
importance of the palette to the painter, not only as a platform for his/her
paint and its myriad combinations, but also as a platform for a cigar, a shot of
whiskey, an ash tray and a thumb.
