Easter Bloom



Another one of my calla lilly studies. I teach a lot of color theory in my painting class and I find the topic of warm and cool temperature shifts can be very easily demonstrated in yellow objects, such as this calla lilly. Where the form turns and the petal reflects light on itself the tones warm and deepen considerably. Where they turn into the leaves surrounding them they tend to cool, picking up the greener light reflecting off those.
