It occurred to me that the reason why the colours of copper orange and "St. Ives" blue in the last post work so well together is that they are complementary (opposites on the colour wheel)
This inspired my mosaic for Mosaic Monday

Hi Carolyn!
Thank you for a stunning mosaic to begin the week. I'll have to take a look at a color wheel. I haven't forgotten that you want to look at a red maple leaf. I have some pressed in a favorite book. I'll photograph them soon and post them. love! love! oxpp

Excellent mosaic Carolyn. I do love turquoise and orange together.
A lovely mosaic, I love this colour combination
Thankyou for your kind comments. not usually up this early! but should do it more with the fantastic view of the sunrise.
Going to Angela Diggles Silk Painting workshop today. I do like this mosaic idea a lot of thought goes into placing and balancing the piece as a whole to make it work and you achieve it.
The colour combination is great - makes me want to go and get out my sketchbook and paints and to rummage through my fabrics and threads and get creating - unfortunately this will have to simply join the queue for everything else that is already in the pipeline!!!
This is such a great colour palete, so reminiscint of St Ives at this time of year. It is very inspirational.
Many thanks
Hello and they are fantastic together!!!!!!
I love your mosaics. You introduce me to other wonderful artists with them, and you honor me by representing my work. Thank you very much.
