This week I’ve been struggling
with colour, trying – and failing – to get the printed actuality to match the
subtlety of greenish-grey I intended. Yesterday I decided to drop subtlety and and
spent several enjoyable hours playing with
primary shades. Fingers crossed they’ll come out as intended.
And somehow, although on
re-reading there’s no actual mention, Dave
W’s ‘Fixed’ put colours in my mind with sufficient strength for me to
declare him this week’s winner.
And yet again, I thank you for
your contributions, all of which enable me to visit several shades of
brightness.
