ORANGE BEAUTY 2 2 LEAVES 6" x 6" 7" x 7" Thinking in two realms, yet there's is still a commonality between these two pastels. Orange Beauty 2 is a simplified sunset with use of bold colors. The medium is applied in an extensive layered patterning. The representational abstract, 2 Leaves , again uses the same bold colors, yet with a different execution. A wash is applied to the primary base and then colors applied in a layered fashion. Funny how I have to really focus when changing genres.
