My little ‘Palette Cleansers’ (or ‘a Palette Scallop’ as I also like to call them) started as an experiment in colour and how different colours interact with each other independently, and also a way to use up my leftover paint from my palette. No influence, no colour coordinating, just put down the leftover paint and see what happens.
.
I love the way this ‘tapestry’ weaves together colours from various paintings (you’ll spot the cherry blossom colours, the hibiscus, the bougainvillea etc in the first one) but it also references the failures, the colours that were time consumingly mixed with love and then just discarded, or left out overnight because there wasn’t enough of it to save. It also reminds me of worn-out knitted jersey’s from the 80’s/90’s that your granny used to make from leftover wool ; ) …anyone?
I am selling these as I go in the effort to give the paint another chance at being a part of a painting, and to raise some funds so I can buy more….paint!
The palette scallops keep evolving and I have been experimenting with both colour and form within this very rigid structure. I recently completed my largest one yet at 80cm h x 60cm w. It was inspired by the beautiful palm trees at the Pamplemousses botanical gardens in Mauritius, which seems fitting as she’ll be on her way there soon for an exhibition. I included a rough video so you can see how much the painiting changes in different light.
