Commission: Evening clouds 2015

Upon reading the client's colour brief I wondered "how am I going to incorporate those colours?" But, that's what I like about commissions: the challenge can force you to use, hitherto, un-explored colour palettes. Purple was required, so I used it as my base colour (I normally choose orange, red or yellow), and it works. Of course, I painted a small test-piece first to make sure I interpreted the client's requests correctly… it would be silly not to.
