Tim, impressing you to my way of thinking is not what I'm trying to do. Why exactly are you putting your paintings next to Bouguereau? Is there a point to this? He uses different colors than you. It makes no sense to me.

No, I didn't post my painting for a critique, I believe there is a critique section here for that purpose. You suggested to Wilma that she look at the work of award winning artists to ascertain whether she felt their palettes deserved another look. This was posted as a courtesy to her.

As for comparing your paintings to mine, I'll let the people viewing this thread have the pleasure of doing so. They can say anything they please. I'm happy to let my work stand on it's own, but I do think that its quite generous of you to offer up your work for criticism.

Mihn, I have my students use my adaptation of the Reilly palette. Minh, you heard my opinion correctly.

Alan, I couldn't agree more.
