Red Tractor Palette | Premo Color Recipes Vol-076-B

1-B: Red Tractor
2-B: Green Hay
3-B: Smoke Stack
4–B: Hay Field

After a long hot Summer, it is time to cut and bale the hay in the fields… food and bedding for the livestock over a long cold Winter. Such is the cycle of chores for the Idaho Farmer of these rolling fields.

This photo taken by Doug on our 2013 PcT Roadtrip through Washington and Idaho. At this time of the year the vast landscape is mostly the soft earth tone colors of dried grasses and freshly ploughed soil.

But today’s shot of color on the neutral landscape, provided by what looks to be a pretty new Red Tractor, draws the eye in and tells a story of a farmer, spending the early hours of the day collecting and stacking the huge round hay bails for the Winter. I can just see him (or her of course) in the air conditioned cab, listening to Country Music (or Classical or Rock) and singing away, while riding miles and miles of circles and loops… weaving their way over the acres.

I think this would not be so bad a life actually… time away from the hustle and bustle of City Life. Hours of quiet (or loud) solitude. Time to think about how truly grateful you are, for all that this amazing planet has given to you. For love. For family. For beauty. For life!

Please enjoy this photo and the colors inspired by it for this September 2014 Vol-076 B-Series Palette!

[wp_ad_camp_1]…Red Tractor is the absolutely perfectly true red of this shiny tractor, juxtaposed against the neutral backdrop of an Idaho Hay Field. Green Hay is the dark dusty green of the tall grass, before it is cut and dried as Hay. Smoke Stack is the smoky black of the smoke stacks (exhaust pipes) on the sides of the tractor. And Hay Field is the tan color of the dried hay stalks, left in spiraling windrows after the hay has been cut and bundled into  bails, soon to be bedding and feed for livestock, over the cold long Winter.

The recipes described above are from the Volume-076 B-Series Palette. They are free to download for everyone subscribed to the Polymer Clay Guest List, Friday Email Newsletter.

Cindy, I just love the way your color pallets are based on nature – God’s natural color combinations. We really can’t improve on that, but you do a superb job of capturing the colors that we might not really notice otherwise. Thank you so much! ~Carolyn-F

Hi Cindy: How you see color and describe it, is remarkable! You challenge us to work with Nature around us, and IMHO… that is God’s Palette. Keep your palette colors coming Cindy, you are a gifted woman. You see things that most people do not even take the time to see, and you are sharing and teaching us to do that simple task. Sincerely. ~Pauline-D

I get the small color recipe size by saving it to “my pictures”. It allows me to print four recipes on one page which automatically reduces the size. Mine fit in a baby wipes box. Your newsletter makes my Fridays a treat!! Thank you. ~Sandra-G
