    Whit,

    Was just remembering something Gilbert Stuart (he painted George Washington’s portrait and developed a cohesive palette system still in use) wrote about color that you might like. He posited that all the great colorists were Northern European and that the sun’s angles and lesser presence allowed for better understanding of light and color. He sensed that the Mediterranean sun was too bright to allow accurate perception of color, just too much washing out going on. So I wonder if that may be a factor in the Dutch approach.
