By request…
A visitor at the 2013 Studio Tour asked me to make more work in colors that would work with her home decorating themes. I discovered that most of my silk paintings are quite vivid. For this painting, I toned down the color of the plastic planter to a very rich dark red, which is picked up in the binding. Otherwise, it is all rainy-day colors of green, gray, and white.
