256: work in progress
At Christmas last year, my gift to my brother Adam was that I’d do a painting of any number he wanted. Since he’s a nerdy (read: fascinating and cool) guy, I thought that might appeal. After several months he settled on a pretty nerdy number indeed: 256. After several more months, I’m finally working on the piece:
I’m not sure if this is done yet. I have to live with it for a bit to figure that out.

GREAT QUESTION. I’m totally surprised anyone noticed! The honest answer is that my mind wandered–it’s a mental typo. Since the color comes from the presence of the digits first, and their order second, the colors of 256 and 265 are nearly identical.
