I wanted to explore how a group of colors could come together and create a feeling of harmony. The subject gave me an opportunity to play with the soft folds and overlapping shapes of the fabric, but it was really the color relationships that interested me.
I worked with mustard yellow, dusty lavender, warm blush, ivory and blue-gray, looking for a balance between warm and cool. I love how one color can change completely depending on what sits next to it. The shapes are simple, but the subtle shifts in color and temperature give them their own character.
Sometimes the most interesting part of painting is finding that moment when all the colors seem to belong together.
