Homage to PINK, the singer. This piece started out with bold pink hues. The color needed to be toned down or neutralized (I sometimes "edit" myself to be less pink and bold). After the original application of pink paint dried, I added some warmer white, cream and yellowish hues (and even some green, orange and periwinkle) to tone it down a bit. The painting is more successful now with the neutralized colors. The title, not just because the overall color is pink, but because, like the singer, a bold, fearless, innovative woman, this painting captures that spirit. I gladly sold it to a friend who is a bold, fearless, innovative woman.
