While cleansing the palette I made a few more abstract paintings. This one was exploring the contrasts between warm and cool colours. Blue is the obvious cool colour, while the yellows and browns are warmer. Yellow can symbolize sunlight, while blue symbolized ice. There isn't much science to back up the warm/cool colour theory but these contrasts can evoke an emotional response in the viewer.

Recently the Leafs, that is, the Toronto Maple Leafs (shouldn't it be leaves?) were knocked out of the playoffs yet again. The Leafs fall just like the leaves fall in fall. Or something like that. In the painting I combined earth orange and yellow with cyan and turquoise. It is arranged like a snakes and ladders grid. This is painted on the back of the first one, I often paint on the backs of paintings when experimenting.
