Color Surrounded By Neutrals


Here's the painting that Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor chose for publicizing my show this summer in Maine. It illustrates and reinforces the same point I made in yesterday's blog: Punching up the focal point with a bit of strong color and then surrounding it with neutral hues is a way to direct the viewer's eye. In both paintings, figures are also used to enliven the same area.

I do love Maine wharf scenes!
