The deep contrasts in this work encourage, and beckon you to leave the heat of the day and encourage you to continue to deeper place where a more palatable degree of warmth, and light will be your reward!

I see the sin of those who have called on His Name buried in the depths of the sea. Cool, cleansing water.

Nice thoughts there, Judy! Thanks!

I'll give some of those suggestions a try!!

However, when watercolor is left to dry on the surface of yupo; the watercolor does it's own thing! Unwanted colors sometimes result, like that green you see. Those green shapes bothered me, too. Not so much the color, but the placement of the colors and the same size of the shapes. But, again, those weren't planned, just dried that way.

I do wonder however, if this painting would have that DEEP feeling with lighter colors? I STILL want to try your suggestions anyway!! Naples yellow is luscious!!

See you for lunch today!!
