It is a collaborative effort by both of us but on this one I have to give Samuel most of the credit for the design.

This is the start of a new series for me. It is fun to play with the combinations of colours using strips of painted canvas. By using strips one can play with the combinations without the colours mixing together and fighting with each other. Instead….they simply lay beside each other, allowing the colours to vibrate by being placed side by side……. bringing out the best in each other.
