I wanted to play with complementary colors in this painting, bringing together warm oranges and reds with greens and turquoise. I love how these colors naturally intensify one another, especially against the dusty pink background.
The stacked pears gave me an opportunity to explore shape, light and the subtle shifts between warm and cool color. Then came the little turquoise gecko, an unexpected addition that brings another note of color and a bit of personality to the composition.
I enjoy taking familiar objects and arranging them in ways that let me experiment with color. For me, it's always about finding those combinations that make a painting come alive.
