Contrasting colors day two of a new theme
This variegated geranium really stands out with the contrasting colors of the red and white stripes og the flag.
Yellow green really should have a red violet for it contrast but I am not being too scientific today.
Is it interesting that the created world is based on contrasting colors, The apple itself is made up of complementary colors, but the leaves on the trees makes the apple look very red.
I will never have a need to show you my son's backyard so I will sneak this in as a predominated green. Van Gough the painter is known as one of the earliest specialists in understanding color. His paintings show his use of contrasting colors to make vibrant paintings. He would place opposites next to each other and let your eye do the blending or react to the confusion.

Larry, you really got me looking and thinking. I had to go pull up a color wheel, and found that it can be difficult to luck out and find the opposites in the same picture.. great theme idea!
As always a thought provoking post with the advantage of some excellent images. I never knew that about Van Gough, interesting.
Very interesting about Van Gough.
You are doing your best to educate us...which is great!
I am a life long learner I guess, love your teaching! :)
