With the suffocating heat I decided to stay home and work on the catalogue for this year's paintings. I found a neat painting in the pile, it is an abstract palette cleanser done probably in April. Contrasting neon-green and purple grey highlight the sky, with a twisty pastel plant occupying the foreground. Neon green is impossible to paint without using special fluorescent paints, so I created the illusion of neon by surrounding an intense yellow-chartreuse with a purplish grey background. Iron oxide earth orange anchors the bottom of the composition.
