Artist Dilemma #2
You are advised that the color palette for 2008 will be polar bear buff, snow white, ice blue, and bright sun yellow, and the theme will be the polar ice caps because of people's concern about the environment and global warming. Yet you have a strong urge to paint using deep dark eggplant, luscious magenta, and cerulean blue. Do you follow your heart, or do you set your desire aside and follow the market?
This is a tough one. On the one hand, I'm not painting so that my work can languish in oblivion and be stored stacked against my living room walls. I want people to like my work and to purchase paintings. On the other hand, I find it difficult to paint someone else's vision.

PS. I think your colors will look very nice contrasting those icy tones.
