I always look forward to that stage in a course when the teacher says, "now choose something you like"! It came on Friday afternoon in our Colour Theory class. The invitation to choose was even more welcome by the time I'd slogged through a couple of hours of homework yesterday. I've done a fair bit of colour theory and colour mixing in the past, so I decided to base several of the colour mixing exercises on a colour I
don't like. I chose an orange as my key colour and developed complementary, split complementary and analagous colour schemes around it.
Then it was time for the Happy Homework: choose a photo you like because of it's colour combinations. I decided to sift through photos from a few years ago rather than choose something recent. I also decided to choose something I haven't already got on display in my home. I wanted to come to it fresh.
Of course I don't know what we're going to be asked to do with the picture we bring, but for now I'm satisfied with just enjoying the colours.

Very pretty. Another awesome orange is the moon which can sometimes be seen. Its very close to earth at the moment and is giving the most beautiful orange red colour i've ever seen.
I'll have to look out for it--it's amazing when it's like that!
