As I sit here in the lovely city of Pretoria, I am still thinking about the gannets constantly.<br /><br />Catherine, thank you for analyzing the composition. I love unity in a painting with all the parts related. Therefore I believe in a very controlled palette of colours. Yes, lessons from Nature - how well they cope with limited living space!Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-35288103691117220072010-09-21T23:35:11.785+02:002010-09-21T23:35:11.785+02:00I've been out of the studio and out of touch f...I've been out of the studio and out of touch for a bit, and have missed some of these lovely Gannet paintings. I especially like how you have portrayed the activity in this one...so much activity, but it all comes together with the hints of blue everywhere and just the right amount of touches of black. <br />You are right, when frustration mounts, we should all behave like Gannets, and the world would be a friendlier place :-)Catherine Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461798205529014264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-35757354820132331302010-09-21T09:45:20.264+02:002010-09-21T09:45:20.264+02:00Hello Marie.
