This was an interesting one to do -- sort of like riding a runaway horse. At the set up stage,I thought the strange pinky greys would be a good balance for the strong yellows and greens, warm and cool together and it would be subtle... well, I was really panic stricken for much of the painting of it, the forms and reflections were so similar and it didn't fall into place until the very end, and that was a surprise. I so much like that aluminum foil -- it is reflective but not shiny -- so ethereal.

Wow, Jean. This is fabulous! Love the refections and forms that mirror each other. Just beautiful!

Ok, now I know you're crazy...CRAZY GOOD that is, no one paints aluminum foil willingly! What's next, cellophane? :-)
