Great looking pic, Richard. Although the background wasn't black enough, so you still have a shadow.
PYW, I like that that blue, looks fantastic.
I hope I don't sound critical, these pics are far better than mine.
I was colormatching specialist graduated at Princeton NY
For some time I installed and started up a colormatching computer and system to match plastic color with leather color amongst others for Mercedez
Because of this knowledge and my neighbour is japanese : me ; her and my wife painted on silk for ten years . So you need to know about the three basic colors and the color wheel and color complementary colrs and triangle colors and quadrangual colors ( ITTEN )
Anyway after I painted like 120 ties and gave away 40 And painted like 40 scarfs and gave away 15 And painted 7 wallmounted paintings not giving away any . I just stopped when I was fired the 2nd time . To much standing and bending whilst painting and no motivation left since I know I can design and colormatch and execute . All my pictures are printed analogs otherwise I would show some .
Orange and purple are complementary colors in the cycle of Itten
