Orange is such a happy color!

Croppings of works on paper from Oysterville

What was intended to be merely a warm-up for working on my canvases in Oysterville turned into a two-day struggle on paper. The white "flower", below, is cropped from a larger painting on paper that went through numerous iterations and ended up with a pale background. The turquoise and orange, also cropped, was completed in one evening. They both became more exciting with a little help from Photoshop (above).
