incorporation

2012-01-26T10:09:00.001-05:00

I'm working to incorporate a little purple into my work... trends being what they are. Purple is not a color I've had a long history with, so our relationship is tentative.

I love the expression below 'too young to assume the purple'.

42 x 60", acrylic on panel.

there it is again, that smoky summer air, thick with water and reflection. it's like living inside a cloud. what is it about that blue blur that gives me pause? is it true across the board, that what is left slightly obscured is the most enchanting?
