Arc of Color

A dress pattern worn by a young woman in "Psycho 2" influenced my palette for this painting. She was filmed in bright sunlight outside the Bates home. Not a typical inspiration for me, but the colors were exciting. I confined my colors to lemon yellow, turquoise titanate, transparent magenta and titanium white. This piece is one of six I worked on during the summer of 1986.
