THE FURNACE LANDS
2025 Leftovers & Palette Gremlins #1
While the red tones of the prompt reminded me of the Crimson King, I resisted the too familiar pull of the character from the Dark Tower. Instead I let my mind return me to Black House and the Territories, which inspired this vision of a ruined tower on the way to An-Tak.

About Leftovers & Palette Gremlins
Leftovers are spur-of-the-moment doodles or sketches created with paint left over from a work in progress. (Ever since my poor art student days, I’ve been loathe to discard any usable paint or other art materials!) Many of these quickies end up in the trash, but some give rise to an idea that merits development into a full sized painting.
Palette Gremlins are small creations inspired by random or accidental shapes in my immediate environment. Usually these gremlins are found on a used palette, but nearly as often they spring from an unintentional mark of paint on a piece of paper or a suggestive shadow in my studio.

I love that these are sold out before I have a chance to click on the link to the shop. It's good to know others collect Michael's work and enjoy it as much as my husband and I do. I'm afraid I may have run out of wall space, and as we downsize, I may need to start rotating my artwork!
