The two complementaries have created a very powerful image here Paul, well done.

Thanks Stephen. Appreciate the comment

Hi Paul, nice to see you have been making use of pmp website as well, like this blue and orange landscape, you have made it work for you, in a very attractive way, which is the whole point of the May challenge on pmp in painting a landscape using two complimentary colours. Love your rendering of the foreground trees, and your use of the orange throughout the scene.

Not familiar with the pmp site - can you supply an address - but if this anything to go by its well worth looking into - first rate painting Paul

Michael, I can help you with that, just go into 'paintmyphoto', the use of it is self explanatory when you get on the site, no one who uses the site is ever stuck for ideas on what to paint again, thousands of free to use photo's in every category imagineable, sounding a bit like a marketing ad fort that site here! Just have a look on it and see what you think.

You're very brave to be so bold. I love the complementary juxtaposition - they really strike sparks off each other!

Thank you for commenting Kim...Glad you like it. The brief for the challenge specifically mentioned the word 'bold'....which is why it's a bit over the top.

You may say over the top Paul but it works beautifully, you have a very striking painting.....like it very much.

Thanks Fiona. I appreciate your kind comment.

Congratulations again - wonderful composition, well-deserved winner.

Thanks Heather. It was nice to be selected, but think we'll all be sick of the sight of it by the end of the 6 months!

Based on a photo by Jane Best on PMP. I liked the composition and it lent itself to a complementary colour challenge on PMP...which explains why it is mainly orange and blue. Comments and criticisms welcomed. This painting was selected to head the PMP website pages for 6 months June-Dec 2013.
