Prayer

[Marvin Mattelson]

Macbeth (I love that),

I'm so glad you were able to create your most successful painting to date and I'm flattered that my flesh palette contributed in some small way. I think when you actually see the way I set it up and how it is used you will be able to take it much further still, making the color even more lifelike and naturalistic.

The beautiful work and the wonderful progress that my students are making is a tremendous source of satisfaction for me.

Painting is difficult enough without having to negotiate through complex and unweildy color arrangements. I think that after you experience my workshop in Greensboro, which is completely filled BTW, you will understand the context behind the palette and hopefully soar to even greater heights. Look out Pino!
