One great thing about abstract art is that it often looks great when seen from different angles. It’s like getting 2 for 1! I rotated this several times and decided I still liked it best as it was painted. What do you think? And why?

Again, I am inspired by Hiroshi Matsumoto. His use of color. The marriage between warm, rusty earth, and soft pinkish buff. I loved this before the addition of Turquoise. I do think it adds a pop of light and juxtaposition.

My family could only afford to get me the box
of eight Crayola crayons,
but I craved the one with all 24 colours.
I wanted magenta and turquoise and silver and gold.
