The web is replete with sites that say things about pink, but I wish to avoid them. Their general bent is to assign meaning to the color, and I prefer to let you make your own associations. And my direction as a "colorist" artist leads me to avoid assigning meaning to any color. I am more interested in how pink interacts with other colors, and what the value ranges do to change these interactions.
The story of these paintings in pinks and greens is that I visualized doing an artwork with these colors, but it took me months of failure to finally get it the way I liked it. Then, what I learned from that first success (entitled "Pinks & Greens," above) enabled me to create more of them with this color composition.

The way you experiment with color is inspiring. I always thought pink and green had potential together, but hadn't seen it done well. I love your Pinks and Greens. It's so warm and vibrant.
Thanks, Meg.
It is eye candy. On the first pink painting I really like the light teal/turquoise against the trees. You often find tree bark scumbled with that cool green in the fall and winter. Great color abstraction.
