Local color

Lavender Skies

24" x 36"

Acrylic on Canvas

To paint colors as I see them or to paint as I feel them......  I have used local colors as I see them the majority of the time, but I want to choose more expressive colors.  While many have appreciated this painting at shows, my husband just wanted to know why the sky was purple.  How many others had the same reaction, but were too polite to say anything?  I liked the complementary colors.  Although it would be nice to sell paintings, I paint for me.  Art is such an individualized medium.  An artwork will speak to some, but not to others.  I certainly have definite likes and dislikes, and this one's a like!
