"CD" ( see all proofs)

I try to be be aware of my influences and this last week I broke out of my normal color options and played around with an existing background on CD the lab puppy, tweaking the colors to come up with a new combo. After I achieved the fun acid green & pink ground above I paused and smiled thinking about the work I had seen the previous week that must have inspired this combo. I am not a "pink" girl and when I see it used in a fresh non-frilly fashion I get very excited. When pink is combined with unexpected or non traditional colors it often shows up as a brand new hue in my brain as though I am seeing it for the first time. Check out Linda O'Neill's portrait of Kahla the kitty and you will find the color seeds that got planted in my brain. Thanks for the inspiration Linda, you have an exquisite sense of color!

Thanks so much, Becca. I really love the way you used those colors here. I feel the same way you do about pink...so I really try to bump up the saturation to make it come alive.
Pink has punch!
Yep, pink can have punch! I like that phrase.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors, esp how they look with the brown. Beautiful!!
