My palette did not need to be cleaned really, I just wanted to do an abstract painting. It started with the orange circles, and then the reflective water ripples in the foreground. The colour scheme worked surprisingly well here, its not often that orange yellow and brown works together. On the back of some of these paintings there is an old failed attempt at a Venice scene done from a photograph taken in Italy by a colleague. It didn't work out so I cut it up and used the backs to do more paintings. Since I am nearly finished the Fabriano pad of watercolour paper, I may just turn them over and start again on the backs!
