"Black and White" (unavailable)

(unavailable)

"Black and white plus one or two other colors works every time it's tried." The same way this quote works in the realm of color, there are other things that work every time they're tried. For instance...serving an audience of one. People may come and go in our lives and say or do things that please or displease us. But only caring about what God thinks about our behavior works every single time it's tried. More than likely, attitudes that please God will also give you peace with God, yourself, and others.

Horizontal bands of color as a means of dividing up design space is also something that works every time it's tried. Of course, the down side of doing this is too much harmony. That can be alleviated by introducing gestural marks and edges that are not absolutely straight. Erratic lines and "fluid" edges will offer up a strong contrast.

The color choices selected for this piece would have worked with any other two colors placed next to white and black, but it does help the "wow" factor to choose two complementary colors. By choosing complementary colors, the contrast of warm and cool is also settled since warm and cool colors are also opposite colors on the color wheel. In essence, you are "killing two birds with one stone." (so to speak) Just something to think about.
