I'm going to email you a photo of him. He is a very good drawer and is becoming a damn good painter. He use to work for many years as a fork lift driver in a food distribution warehouse.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-85403466086324864672008-06-05T10:00:00.000-07:002008-06-05T10:00:00.000-07:00I am intrigued by your post and this discussion. ...I am intrigued by your post and this discussion. I've been thinking about it for two days. Could it be that you and Mr. Schink are both right? In reading your posting, I was wondering if this is a semantics issue -- the word color and hue being used interchangeably. I understand that you can design with color value, hue or intensity being dominant. If one tries to have value, hue and intensity all being dominant, then it would be like shouting. So, intuitively or by planning, one of the attributes of color is dominant. To me, in your painting and in the case you explained color value dominates rather than color hue or intensity. You achieve unity within shapes by keeping the color value similar. However, you create visual interest by varying the hue. I apologize if I'm too long winded; I am most interested in this discussion.
