Debra C: Day 6 - Chateau Chantel Homework

5"x7" Chalk Pastel on Sanded Board
Really breaking down the shapes, per Nora's suggestion. Patterns have emerged, the top background seems to mirror each other, from far back sky, to the hazy background land mass (in lavender) to the rich blue of the water mass - each "echo" one another. Then onto the sage green land that wraps from the left down into the main middle ground, inviting the viewer to experience the central focus of orange, lemon yellow and a shapely image, not detailed, but still resembling a tree. The foreground conveys a hill, gently sloping down - it has a highlight to play off the highlight on the middle ground lemony area, and the two front bushes interplay with the central focal point, the "q-tip tree."  All is held together by the deep rich purple mass to the left and to the right, stability in the simplicity of shape & color.
