I've been experimenting with new paints, in this case I combined magentas, chartreuse, and earth colours together in an organic fiesta.

This painting was a commentary on some pictures that shouldn't be on the wall at my University, they were framed improperly, figuratively speaking. I used venetian red (PR101) and grey ochre (natural) to create the sensational background.

After a few years, I still have not quite figured out how to best use 'iridescent moonstone' from Daniel Smith company, it is a shimmering mica pigment. Here I applied it on the black background like clouds. In real life it sparkles a bit but looks murky on the scan.

In undergraduate I dyed myself purple once, it was a thing we did. The dark purple in this painting is the same colour, it is called carbazole purple (PV23). Hence the name purple skin.
