This painting was in the background of a recent post. And since many of you asked about it, here it goes!
As you may remember, one of the attributes I look for in my finished work is warm/cool color contrast. Well, this painting not only has red (warm) against blue (cool) but goes one step further down the warm/cool path by introducing warm red next to cool red. The tension created by this combination is positively “jangly” in my opinion – highly activated, visually stimulating. What is “cool” red you may ask? Take a look, you’ll figure it out. That’s what I like about this painting!
