Palette Shift in 1987

In the beginning of 1987 I painted these two small paintings. They mark a particular palette shift. Usually I don’t change my palette so dramatically. Prior to these paintings I was using more blues and purples to define shadows. Here I started adding more browns. Because of the detail involved, I’ve posted them larger than I normally would.
