COLOR STUDIES Analogous Colors

Painting Out of The Box and Out of My Comfort Zone.  With these studies it's hard to imagine ahead of time what the painting is going to look like but I have a clear set of ground rules: pick two analogous colors on the color wheel (colors side by side), and stay within a range of 4 values.  I can use any neutrals, tints and tones within those two colors.

So I just have to go for it and see what will come of it.  The least that will happen is I will learn something.
Here are a couple of small studies of Analogous colors.  One is done with Yellow and Yellow Orange.  The other painting is done with Red and Violet Red.
