All though I fear that aside from the occasional somewhat often complimentaries sive posts this blog has turned in to somewhere I post pretty pictures and rave on about how much I like them and their colours. I think in a way this is a good thing and expected even? From taking classes on colour theory I am learning what I like and dislike, what works and doesn't work when it comes to colour and visual story telling.
This piece is a current favourite of mine. The colours are eye catching but in a good way (see my blacklist post for the bad). The colours although they appear bright, are appropriately toned down with shades and less saturation where necessary. My eye follows the flowers and the orange of the cape and I spot= green grass/ red flowers, orange cape/ blue pool. With all the strong colour the eye is still drawn to the naked deer man in the centre. Is it because he indeed naked? Maybe. But I suspect lighting and those red orange roses he sports on his head are catching the eye because of its complimentary blue/green pool surrounding them.
