Spindrift Storm

Artwork ID # 2306-39125-24

The complimentary color revealed for me in the beige/tan hues on the cliff face, and similar bright tan hue of the small section of spindrift foam on the turquoise water surface, created a seductive color comparison. Added to this the color wheel opposites of the blues of the sea and the various orange surfaces on the foreground stone form another color tension between them, as do the greens of the lower right foreground with the red/umber hues in a section of stone directly above them.
And as I looked even more deeply, I became aware of the brightness/dullness tension between the spindrift foam and the more distant dimness of the mist shrouded rock of the background area.
