In my blog, I am trying various color schemes to expand my painting vocabulary.  To that end, I am selecting a different color scheme/limited palette each week and basing three little 8 x 6 paintings upon that color palette. 

The color palette I used for the following paintings is-

Dioxazine Purple

Cerulean Blue

Cadmium Yellow

Titanium White

I like this color palette for spring, as the new leaves and plants in spring are a bright yellow green.  Since purple and yellow are complementary colors, purplish-gray shadows make the yellow green trees and plants seem very bright.
