This is a small 6 x 9 inch watercolor I did of a still life I set up in the studio. Rather than have the usual full range of color in my palette, I completed the painting in two colors – French Ultramarine and Quinacridone Gold. I found that without the other colors available, it was necessary to punch the intensity of the two colors in various spots of the painting.

There’s a little green in there for St. Patrick’s Day!
