Abstract painting with soft pastel colors including pink, purple, white, and yellow, with a textured appearance and signature in the bottom right corner.

Golden Sky

I was told when I was eleven that purple and yellow should never be blended together, unless for a shadow, or something grey.

With the leftover paint on my palette I made this golden sky that reminded me of dusk crawling in through midsummers dry heat. But, I used the wrong colours. I thought I would be told off.

Twelve years later, and I am finally learning not to take on the limitations others place for themselves.
