It was really a strange moment...this morning in painting I lifted my hand to adjust my hat, and I noticed that in the lighting it had a faintly green tinge, and it was next to my face which was flushed in the heat of the room and therefore pink. Pale, pale green next to pale, pale pink. Both my skin... yet such gentle opposites. I was transfixed.

I never really noticed color properly before doing the collage, things that are cream might really be lavender, things that are blue might really be green, things that are grey are often blue...and I never realized before what an abundence of muted purples there are in the world...
