I wanted to explore color harmony through the human figure, using a palette that might not seem immediately obvious. The olive green of the dress, warm pinks of the skin and soft lavender background became an interesting conversation in warm and cool color.
I was less interested in creating a formal portrait and more interested in how the colors could work together to describe the figure. The loose brushwork, simplified shapes and subtle shifts in tone give the painting a sense of movement while keeping the composition quiet.
I love discovering how unexpected colors can find their way into harmony.
