I'm really glad I'm playing along with The Summer of Color
It's helped me to explore colors that I usually don't use.
This painting is inspired by the color brown.

Lush brown - never thought I'd hear myself saying that, but there you go!

Julie, nice job with the browns! Did you mix your own or use a pre-mixed color?
Posted by: Chris Cozen | July 15, 2011 at 01:04 PM
Thanks everyone!
Chris, I used pre-mixed and I mixed my own.

Lovely, I like the brown. I hardly ever use brown as the main color I might just have to give it a try.
Posted by: Marlene | July 15, 2011 at 11:20 PM

Fabulous! It took me a moment to see the mermaid, she was so well camouflaged! Great use of brown!
Posted by: EVA | July 17, 2011 at 09:35 AM
Lovely! Your mermaid looks so blissful! Brown isn't a color I would choose either, but you've done wonderfully with it!
Happy PPF!

This is wonderful - there is something about the colors and the composition that reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting :)
