Crimson Field One, 19 x 23 acrylic and pastel painting on paper by Carol Engles

19 x 23 acrylic and pastel on paper. This is a larger version of a 5 x 7 I posted recently. This one has more of a crimson color than the smaller one. I like the contrast of the lime green with the red. Not my usual color combination, but I think it works nicely here. Tell me what you think. Both this painting and the small "inspiration" are available. Contact me if you're interested at: jcengles@verizon.net

    Carol, this is really good - dramatic, rich darks with lovely light effects - the green and red are compliments so are a real eye popper. Nice work!

    Thanks Melody! I usually use reds as accents, not as the dominate colors. So glad you like this. Your comments always mean a lot to me.
