Here are the latest in the series of experimental works surrounding green. They are part of a wider body of work exploring visual complements. The color green holds many mysteries, and is one of the more difficult hues to handle in art. Green interests me particularly because it can pass through a near rainbow of shades and still retain its identity as “green”. There are orange-greens (or brown-greens), blue-greens, yellow-greens, grey-greens.

Enchanting greens, full of mystery!
