Peony of Fluff


Peony of Fluff 
Watercolor 
7.9x7.9 inches 
matted 12x12 inches 
Today is a peony day because I need to go into the land of value shape and color. It is so intense to be in that world making decisions that are subjective but also logical. There is no emotion there just judgments to be made about how dark or light something is relative to everything surrounding it. That part I have down. The part that challenges me more is how to create colors that perform as neutrals without making the over all form dull. There has to be a motion to the color arrangements that fool the eye into believing there is life there. Something that lives and breathes,flutters and rises up to the light.
