Give me one colour...

Just a quick, "note to self" in the dvd commentary for the remake of Flight of the Phoenix, which is terrible and lacks the humanity and character of the original, the director, John Moore, was complimenting the costume designer for his work, which consists of breaking down the single costume each character wears. Moore said in reference to this, "Give me one colour and I'll give you a rainbow." This really struck a chord with me in regards to my current work (50) I really only have used six colours consistently for the past two years, I think with this series, it's being pulled back even further, down to five colours. This will become more clear as more work is posted under the "(50)" label (see sidebar) as time goes on.

that's all

Wilson 96 comes down Nov.1

Dress (#43 Julie Andrews without Julie Andrews)

10 x 12 inches, acrylic on canvas, framed, SOLD.

This was a sketch that I'd done a few days ago, after shoulder injury and prior to getting a cold. I knew the pose was from somewhere and the dress so I had to spend a good twenty minutes doing Google searches to realize it was Julie Andrews from the Sound of Music, a movie I've seen once when it was on television when I was nine. What I remember most about the movie was sitting beside my Dad and listening to him sing Edelweiss, the rest of the film is a mystery. We're back at the easel after about three weeks of flu, injury and colds, what a great run, I have a bunch of work to get caught up on.

Thanks to all who came to the Wilson 96 on Friday, the show comes down on the first of November, so head on over in the next few days to see what's there. Lots and lots of posts to come in the next couple of weeks.
