watercolorist’s challenge clouds

color wheelmoods created
Written By MaryJane Nordgren

 in watercolors, gray comes to life

by combining opposites

on the color wheel, such as,

green with red

orange with blue

purple with yellow

so all of the color wheel is in each gray

but the various proportions yield

varied moods and emotional responses

this morning’s tumbled layers of clouds

needed all three combinations

to reveal the temper

of each watery atmosphere
