Painting Outside The Lines

This painting is titled "Lily In The Pink."  It is a good example of  techniques that I love and teach. The interior pink shape holds two white lilies that are painted directly.  When the lilies cross the border of the pink square (called breaking borders)  their colors change and they join the background shapes which are painting negatively.  The combination of positively and negatively painted shapes makes for an interesting and unusual composition.
