Abstract #20

Abstract #20

Gouache and Ink, 4x4 on Paper

This is number 20 in a series of 20 small abstract paintings.  My goal in this painting was to dominate the composition with lighter, cooler colors and values.  My initial intention was to use the mauve form in the lower left as the focal point, but I darkened it's value in order to make the light yellow green of the center of the composition the primary focal area.
