Found this little one half finished when cleaning up the studio.  It was calling for attention. 

Did I already mention Betty Edward's amazing book --"Color", (also authored Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain). This book is awesome.  Edwards has  taken a very complex subject ( one that has been written about by philosophers, physicists, poets and painters) and made it accessible and fun.  She covers the basics of color theory better than I've heard in any class, then provides exercises to ensure you assimilate what you've read.   It's tempting to skip to the exercises later in the book but the early chapters are important - esp. chapter 3.  I rate it 5*s!
