New palette


En la calle a media noche 2013


Rincon de esperanza 2013


My sketches for these two compositions were buried in my sketchbook labeled as "good idea" and "haven't found out how to produce it successfully."  Now two years later, I have found the right palette they needed.  The colors came to me upon being frustrated with not knowing how to depict the images inside my head.  The vivid colors in my childhood years in Reynosa with the uncomfortable.  I dissected Mark Rothko's painting and realized he had stepped the tall grass for me to walk and find the right combinations of colors to make the night sky I had been looking for years.  There it was all orange, blue and with tints of black and white.
