Palette Paintings, 2025, $3000

"When painting with oils, I like to use palettes that are toned similarly to the underpainting of the work in progress. Most of the color mixing and value comparisons happen on the palette first, build up around the edges, and leave a record of the process that develops in tandem with the painting. When a palette strikes me as particularly beautiful in its own right, I save it. These five cropped selections are from the making of Sunflower Seeds, a picture book painted in oils on brown paper."  ~Ellen Heck
