Gardening Gloves and Warm Flower Blossoms

Gardening Gloves and Warm Flower Blossoms

This painting used to have pinkish purple mums with pink trimmed gardening gloves.   Although I always like the composition with the trowel casting the shadow on the sideways clay pot, the painting just didn't work. 

Color temperature was the problem.   Another five years of painting under my belt helped me spot the issue straight away when I came across it the other day.   Warm flower blossoms and rustic clay pots are teamed with blue gardening gloves, transforming a floral painting dominated by clashing purple mums into a new more harmonious blue/orange scheme.
