Cobalt Embrace
by Elise Tomlinson,
Oil on Canvas 20"x 24"
In this
painting I wanted to create two more color pyramids, this time inverted.
The sky is wide, and creates an inverted base to the pyramid. The
blue of the figure in the fetal position creates the inverted apex.
To even
it out, I created the second color pyramid using a wide orange base
and the orange hair as the apex.
I have
always loved using the complimentary colors of orange and blue together
in figures. Blue, is another example
of a figure where I combine these two colors.
