Do you like Wolf Kahn, a great colorist? His calendar hanging in my office claims on the back that he is "probably the foremost American colorist." Whether you agree with it or not, I surely love his semi-abstract art. But I don't have the courage to paint with his bright yellows, mauves, aquamarines, pinks, and scarlets. If I dare, my teachers would probably admonish me to tone them down to more "natural" colors. Perhaps only masters, such as Kahn, can truly follow their aesthetic choices.
In "Fall Patterns", however, I hear the echos of Wolf Kahn. Have you ever seen the violet fall foliage? Why is the ground under the tall trees burgundy, or the sky so chalky Naples yellow? But the painting works, and one feels that it is fall and the leaves are changing colors. I don't know what got into me to paint like that, but surely like to do it again.
