“Citrus on Purple” was inspired by a secondary color study using a limited palette of cadmium red deep, cadmium yellow and ultramarine blue. The tiniest bits of titanium white and ivory black were used to adjust values. My goal was to refrain from using any of the primary colors in the study so that I could gain a greater understanding of color theory. Every now and then life’s joys and sorrows get the best of us for a time and this was my way of easing back into painting full-time since the loss of my mother in June. She would have loved this one too.
