A continuation of exploring aspects colour, within the previous photo image and work in studio produced today.
The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.
Hans Hofmann

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
Todays experimenting with colour has also alerted me to ratio of sky to sea which is an aspect I need to take into consideration when working toward final work.
Also need to redefine time scales concerning outcomes
Need to start thinking about scale of canvases.

Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
Marc Chagall.

In the studio today I decided to work from a photo image taken from the shore line, that looked out toward the distant horizon.
The colour is an important aspect within the image as it is less intense than previous colours explored. my aim today is to explore more low key colour aspects.
In the previous blog I discussed and questioned how I had become aware that  the colours used within the experiments were "very busy", and that there was a need for me to address this issue through further exploration of colour and to review my original ideas and approach toward paintings that better reflect and convey a cathartic, ambient sense.
There are no lines in nature, only  areas of colour, one against another.Edouard  ManetRead more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/colour.html#w8OXRaUE6rFj3aTL.99
