Gouache 4x4 on Paper

I did this small abstract with a goal of expressing a sense of calm and a feeling of contentment, but I also wanted to create a composition that held a strong focus and encouraged movement and a little tension.  I limited my palette to yellow, blue, and purple, with a touch of phthalo green and white.  I would like the viewers to create their own story in this painting.
