In reply to a question for mr. Atticus, posted by Jai Narayan on August 13, 2004, at 10:38:21
Fare thee well, Empress Jai.
I lean toward a wide range of purples and blues as my dominant palette, cool colors, accented with splashes and bolts of hot colors such as reds, oranges, and, in extreme moderation, yellows. I'm trying to widen my range, as I'm not unaware of the irony of someone with major depressive disorder going through a seemingly perpetual "blue period." Something about the moodiness of the purple/blue tones really attracts me. I almost always use a range of blues and purples for skin tones when painting people. It gives them this peculiar drowned look. Hmmm. I can see I've gone on a bit again. That's why I stick to poems. If I wrote straight prose, I'd never finish a single story, I suspect; I get off-task too easily. It's even worse when I talk, believe it or not. My tongue can't seem to walk in a straight line. :) That rogue, Atticus of Atlantis, who frequently asks, "What was the question again?"
