Color fields

 

From today: a God’s eye in colors from Richard Diebenkorn’s painting “Berkeley No. 52” (1955) —the postcard here. I continue trying to shake loose my color habits. 

MT dropped by with a book and joined me in wrapping yarn for a bit. She said she used to close her eyes and choose seven colored pencils out of the enormous number she had – – and then use only those in her next picture.

    1. Right—With such a simple form as a God’s eye, there’s lots of room for challenge
