I was juried into a show in March and am allowed to show 7 works. The show said I could show my collage work or the dried flower series. I decided to show the flower series and thought I would try and do a few smaller pieces for the show since I already have a number of larger paintings done. I want to try a few 12" x 12" size to see what kind of a composition I could work into the square formatt. I tried two differnent shades of blue for this painting and still am not sure if this is the right one for the background. My color palette was inspired by a book I have on the California group of painters know as the Society of Six; http://www.askart.com/askart/interest/society_of_six_1.aspx?id=35
Anyone out there in cyber space have a comment on the blue background ? I sure would be appreciate some comment on the color and composition.
