Colour Inspiration

"Sumach in Tibetan Wind"
Oil on Canvas, 36x36"

I have been working on "Sumach in Tibetan Wind" for the last 4 weeks.
The inspiration of the colours for the painting comes from paintings of James Gasowski that I found online. (http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist_profile/James+Gasowski/21301.html)
I rarely use blueish green against yellow but it was a challenge to use it effectively.
Here is a sample of Mr. Gasowski's paintings. I was drawn to this painting for its balanced use of golden tone yellow.
