Be proactive:

Hi Barbara,

We can take more control over our art if, when we "donate" to a benefit we 
arrange beforehand what % or amount goes to the Benefit and what to us. It is 
  professional to be making the decisions ourselves. It is  only fair and 
works for me.

Excellent Maria, as usual

Never say "Never"
Never say  "Never say ' never'
Never say "Never say- 'never say  never ' "...

Can do.

Thank you Wanda.

I have a question for you and the rest of the eminent Baren artists.  My 
formal art training is limited to reading numerous books by many artists all 
having a slightly different twist as to how they craft their art form.  For 
many of them their selection of color seems to follow the trial and error 
technique.  However they all seem to follow common laws.  Very little 
discussion is given to the particular theory of color an individual artist 
follows, for example, in painting a landscape. 

The color wheel, primary colors, complementary colors, etc. I understand.  So 
my question is: Have you Pros formulated a personal theory of color?  If so, 
how do you apply it in a practical way to your print or painting?  If not, I 
assume that your color selection is predicated on how you feel that it 
contributes to the whole of the project. 

Another way to state this question is: What is your philosophy of color, and 
how does it apply to your work?

Thanks a lot

What a question!  Wow, I for one, would not even know where to begin in
plunging the depths of my philosophies of color!
I think the answer, at least for me and my art, may be summed up in your
question: " assume that your color selection is predicated on how you feel
that it contributes to the whole of the project".
I usually work in this fashion:
The "vision" drives the "image", the wood drives the size, the carving
predicates the paper and the "whole" drives the colors, or lack thereof, but
not necessarily in that order.
Sometimes the "image" of the finished piece is in my head from day one, then
I begin to research the colors and materials to "create that image".

Tim, thanks for a great question!  It will keep me thinking for days.
