Full color circle

Michael,

I'm glad you came full circle as well. I know you are very sincere and your questions are never self-serving and always come out of a genuine desire to expand yourself.

One of my favorite painters is William McGregor Paxton, a painter who successfully combined Impressionistic color notes and academic values. He achieved incredibly luminous skin tones and exquisite color notes using a rather limited palette.

My goal is to incorporate both sensibilities in my work as well.
