"Collision" ($30.00)




















(adjusted price......$30.00)

Collisions happen everyday and not all of them take place in vehicles. There is nothing quite like the collision that happens when actions collide with reality. It's excruciating! The good news is that it can all be avoided by giving ourselves a "reality check".

As you have probably noticed, I am enjoying playing around with intense colors in a neutral background. A geometric icon was the perfect vehicle to introduce the intense color. It becomes more integrated by bringing some of those colors over into the lettering. It is also good to have soft, diffused, and gradated areas to give the eye a rest. Burnt sienna and olive green are good neutral selections to contrast with cadmium orange and linden green (WN gouache). Neutrals go way beyond brown, black, and white. A neutral is any color with less intensity as a result of being "grayed down" with its complement or another neutral. Anyway, it's a wonderful experiment to try.
