You there!  Yes, you!  Do you have an abundance of disposable income and wall space?  Are you drowning in a sea of unfurnished wallpaper and cold hard cash?  I have the answer!

I, Mr. Lawrence Duncalf, am an expert in unburdening you of excess space and money.  Using a most efficacious technique, I take all that useless money and use it to cover up unsightly gaps on your wall by giving you a unique work of original art!  Isn't that lovely?

Be the envy of your neighbours!  Make friends: it's a great conversation piece at parties!  Men and women (or both, whatever your preference) may even come to find you attractive!

So don't delay!  You too could join an exclusive club, united by sophistication, elegance, exemplary taste, and by owning an original Lawrence Duncalf painting!

Lots of space, but not much money?  Not a problem!  I do prints too!  I'll even put them in a frame for you!

So.

As part of my ongoing artistic development, it may be a good idea to finally nail down exactly what I'm going to do about the Colour Problem.

For those unaware, I am colour-blind.  Not entirely monochromatic, but with severely limited colour vision.  As my gallery attests, my usual reaction to this is to ignore colour entirely and paint in monochrome.  Failing that, I can do subtle colour glazes over monochrome, or full colour in abstract works where there is no frame of reference for what the colour should and shouldn't be.  By the way, God bless whoever thought it would be a good idea to write the paint colour on the container.  You should have a Nobel prize or somesuch.

However, I feel I might be well served by deciding where I stand.  Does the use of colour contribute at all to the works' artistic merit?  Is my use of colour working?  Is there something I should be doing (or knowing) that I'm not?  Would proceeding in monochrome be a limiting factor in my career, surrounded by all you people and your full colour vision?

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Now just what in Eris' sock drawer is this doohickey here?

*prods*

Good Lord, is this a journal?  For me?  How fascinating...

I suppose I should start writing in it, yes?
