Very nice use of earth tones. I like the title also but it makes me wonder why one is let out. What more could you ask for then to leave someone wondering about your work.

Artist Reply: Thank you for your compliment. The reason one flower is further away is because it needed balance. Before I added the "little loner" the painting felt like it would tip over. No deep meaning just simply BALANCE. You are the first person to ever notice their not all "shoulder to shoulder" I am very impressed. Anyway every group always has a "little loner" that wonders off for a little breathing room now and then--that would be him. Added note: this painting was so popular I was commissioned to do 2 more in different colors to match.

Ah...my favorite color range!These Earth tones are very peaceful...do you find people view these softer toned paintings more,or less,in a show?

Artist Reply: I think softer tones do better in shows. And in national deco magazines too. Check out the backgrounds in all those ads----the artwork hanging on the wall behind the box of Cheer is usually "a neutral" I think it is the more seasoned collector that buy bolder brighter artwork. I always sell the painting I personaly won't buy. Its weird but I think it as simple as some people aren't brave enough to display their "wild side" on their walls. How come you rarely use color Tim?
