"Fluidity is enhanced by the act of observing as you work." Creating a good flow in every area of life is something to be desired. Different things will contribute to the way that process unfolds, but in art as in life, it most often happens by observing the things that move you, that enhance your process, and being self aware.
There are two pigments on the color wheel that are the lightest and darkest on the value scale (or gray scale). Yellow is the lightest and violet is the darkest. These colors are also direct complements. When used together they are highly charged and create a very ethereal look. In some instances, depending on the proportion of space each of them occupies, they can create an "unsettling" and disturbing look.
When I created this piece, I created two in case I didn't like one of them. It was a good thing because the arrangement and flow of the other one is quite disturbing to look at. It gave me the feeling of being "swallowed up". So goes the power of color. These color studies are very instructive on the power of color to affect mood and emotion.
Just something else to think about as you observe while you work.
