Spring Greens

Spring Greens is a painting I created purely around a color theme, particularly with a focus on the pale greens of early spring. The composition took a number of shapes before I developed the color field into something I was happy with. The yellows and deeper green shades provide contrast to the main field of color. I originally intended to have this painting hang sideways (and wouldn't be offended if anyone else decided they like it better this way). But when I hang it the way it is shown here, I imagine a still pool surrounded by trees and reflecting their budding leaves.
