Quiet Patterns

Quiet Patterns
Acrylic on Archival Paper - 4x4

This painting developed into the idea of the focal area on the lower left with repeating colors and values leading to the lower right and then to the upper right.  With my decision to keep the composition quiet, I chose a palette that eliminated all the red and lavender pigments so the all I am using is azo yellow, Prussian blue, and phthalo green with white.
