Matteson Art

Hi,

i just got the professional reproductions of my paitning Salty Dog. You can really see the blue sky and the low lying clouds. I tried to make the colors a bit over the top considering the subject matter. The sky needed to be  ultra-blue and the ocean was even darker as dark of a shade of blue as I could get.

I decided to make the sand bright yellow with some orange. I figured it would be a good contrast to the blue. Since I had several white colors (salt shaker) bikini, old maids bathing suit, plus I needed some contrast for the meat grinder. The whole painting is over-the-top.
