10 New York Painters, 10 New York Palettes

There is a great blog on the Huff Post by John Seed about California artists' palettes. Not to be out done by the left coast, I've gathered a bunch of east coast palettes together. Let's call it a Dance-Off. Palettes are delicious things, whether they are full of layers of frosting-like smears or collections of neatly displayed art supplies. Like eye candy, they are here for our enjoyment. But they are also aesthetic artifacts in which we can often see the subsequent offspring. They are the nails and hammer, the flour and egg, the duck tape and Bisquick (out of which, my brother and I agree, anything can be made) of painting, printing and collage. I'm starting the slide show out with a photo of Jackson Pollock's studio floor. See what I mean?

Growing up with artist parents and being one myself, I love looking at other srtist studios and the paletts; you learn so much and it leads to great studio conversations. I take a lot of pictures with work in-porgress, more than I do my finished work, it cronicals the "process" more, for me, than looking at my own finished work.

WONDERFUL article and images ! I quite like the Batile 21 Club, the Dufresne landscape and the Moyer Cat Eyes. Showing the palette's was a great idea and much more interesting to artists. Thank you !

Ohhh I really liked this slide show. Sometimes when I paint I get more fascinated by how my palette changes than how the painting itself progressed.

Hi Liz, I'm flattered that you are going to contribute to the whole paintings and palettes effort. It can only help out the artists involved. I should tell you though that not all my artists are from California. In fact, I have been hearing from artists all over the place.
