I think this is one of my favorite paintings!  Amazing work.

Thanks for the feedback Ann and Rita. The greys are in reality a bit more blue than comes across in the photo. I used Prussian blue, cadmium red light and cad yellow medium. I've tried different intensities of all three colors but so far I find this combo gives me the greatest range from light to dark. I work in oils.

Beautiful painting, Elfrida. I love al the colours, especially all the greens, you've created with three colours.

I really have to practice the use of only three colours more, your paintings look so great and colourful. I just get dark and muddy colours, no vibrant or clear colours, not even beautiful greys. Practice, practice, practice.

Nice greys using only three colors. Very believable figures with nice light and abstract shape.
