Thanks, I'll check out the site. I like those things done well. As to the broken colors next to each other idea, here's been my take on it. A lot of artists that talk about this but really never display it in their work. Fechin, my hero spoke of this, yet of the numerous works that I have enjoyed in person for hours, I've seen little of this truly in his paint. It seems to be a great concept not much done.

One may argue that yellow paint next to red makes orange and at the smallest level-or taking this concept to a microscopic level why not buy orange paint? To appreciate this concept of two distinctly differing colors "vibrating" next to one another they must by difinition be visible to our naked eye (as separte colors) and then one would assume the viewer must then determine that perfect viewing distance from which to consider the exciting visual occurance as the vibration happens. It seems altogther probable that this should happen but my experience is that in truth, the paintings are little more than curiousities-pointillism being the perfect form of this.

I see Schmid do it nicely enough and I agree that is it possible. I simply have seen it done very rarely even by the greatest proponants of the concept. This Fechin below shows the effect (at least in person).
