The paintings are growing steadily larger and this means that colour effects- whether harmonious or otherwise- become more obvious. It makes me think my colour is very brash. But perhaps I am simply over-sensitive? At what point does bright become brash?

I love the freedom of movement that a larger format gives, especially with scumbling and other brush marks.

 This camera, a Lumix DMC-1X7 is not good at registering certain contrasting colours. There's a peach colour in the picture that is not effectively shown here.
