A few days ago I decided to start the new year off by gifting myself some new paint colors. This piece reflects those new subdued colors. I’m struggling with liking the toned down color of this piece. My personality leans more towards being an introvert but my clothing choices have always been splashed with color, my home is full of bold color and my art studio walls are a yummy yellow! I may have to reconsider this new phase of color. Seems we all gravitate towards what is in our hearts and mine is a kaleidoscope of bright color!
The quote is from Maya Angelou, a favorite of mine.
Live life as if it were created just for you.

I think this piece is a beautiful combination of colors. I love bright and bold colors but I also enjoy the calmin effect of hues such as these.
Thanks for visiting and the kind words! I just finished sanding back the colors on the tulips to bring a bit more color forward…I like it much better. That is the great fun of having all those layers on the canvas!
