Primal Tools


This painting was yet another palette cleanser done as I was prepping the palette for the weekend which is supposed to be like summer. I normally paint these in portrait format, but this one is in landscape format. For most of the palette cleansers you wouldn't even know which way is up if it weren't for my signature and the title. Nowadays at least there is a blog so people would be able to figure it out. A famous painting had been hung upside-down for a long time in a big museum, and the curators decided to leave it that way to prevent any damage. Needless to say, it was an abstract painting, it was by the well known painter Mondrian. Sometimes I wonder what will become of my paintings in the future, for now most of them pile up in boxes but from time to time I sell a few or give them as gifts. Most recently I gave two to graduating students, the Sunset on the River, and Reflection in Canal from a trip I did down the canal path this summer.
