Violet Marsh Seven

5x7 acrylic with pastel on paper. I have done several of these. I just love this color combination.. I have done a couple large pieces as well and I am pleased with the way they have come together. Deep violet with gold or bronze is very rich and dramatic I think. I thought of putting in a grey sky but I thought the robin egg blue was a better fit.

Hi Carol:
Yes, I love the splash of purple in this one too. Fun and lively, but also with a touch of magic.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for your nice comment. Soft pastels are so brilliant - they allow me to have so much fun with color.

Carol, that touch of red next to violet is beautiful.

Thank for your comment! I really like to use red as an accent. I am so glad that you like it in this piece!
