2024 Leftovers and Palette Gremlins #4
As I take afternoon walks, I relish the reds, golds, and greens all around me. It’s no accident to see the colors of autumn represented on my palette.
Still swept up in the mood of the season, I found inspiration in a smeary mess, the result of an experimental flow of “leftover” paint over a scrap of watercolor paper.
The colors on my palette happened to be just right to coax this grinning reaper out for an afternoon trip of another sort.

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.
