Magenta Marsh

This is a 5x7 acrylic with pastel and charcoal on paper. I used to never use grey in my paintings. Because it was GREY! Then, one day I realized while I was playing around with different color combinations that grey can be an effective backdrop for more brilliant colors. Plus it exists in our environment and even during a grey day, there are points of color and light to be observed as well.
