"Keep Your Eye on the Rainbow"
I purposely used three types of color harmonies throughout this painting. Bringing one or two elements of one harmony into another. I would have to say this piece had my best handling of acrylic paints. This painting was inspired by one of my long walks on the ranch behind my studio. I had actually seen a complete ground to ground rainbow against a 95% gray sky. An incredible sensation which I still remember and which also inspired the black and white "Optic Sunset". Note: 7/21/06 - I have now seen a complete ground to ground double rainbow. A double rainbow is where the upper one is a color reflection of the lower one. You can tell because the upper rainbow has red on the bottom where as a regular rainbow always has red on the top.
