A limited palette can be powerful and very expressive. My own journey down this road began when I read about an article about the exhibition centred around Odd Nerdrum and his students / followers, called "The Temple of Apelles." This article mentioned the ancient Greet painter Apelles. I then discovered the long lineage of influence this has had. Certainly there would have been adherents who were just hacks who follow tradition for the sake of tradition, but I believe those shining stars, the Masters , proved to us time and time again how truly versatile limited palettes are.

As the saying goes, less is more.
