I'm noticing a very umpleasant trend in my work. My pallate lacks finesse. Whatever my intentions are, I end up with a lot of super-saturated, high-contrast peices, unless I force myself only to use shades of one color through white. This can't be good. I mean, it can be good, in the case of doing some work for children, color is fab. Then again, Maurice Sendak did not do what I'm doing.

I mean, it's got its place for sure. But I can do better than that. For the month of June...well from June 6 to July 6 I will challenge myself to do a few, but no less than three works that are well composed, using a more restrained and subtle color pallate than I have been used to. In Painter or using real media. I am more comfortable with my color choices in vector stuff, so I'll hold off on that for a bit.

Meanwhile, the search for good source material continues.
