My Earth Series resulted from a conscious effort to concentrate more on balance and value contrast using rich (rather than bright) complementary and contrasting colors. For many of these paintings, small splashes of bright color play against the main design to create movement. As the series has evolved the colors have gotten richer and the texture has gotten more intricate. I just get my juices flowing when working on these paintings.
