muted landscape #2

This image is the prototype for a new body of work I’m developing for exhibition at Parliment House later in the year. The thing is that the wall where the works will be hung are dark port wine coloured. So I’m thinking the black and white prints in a white matt and black frame are going to look really sombre against the background so I’ve been fooling about with a little colour with these dreamy Infrared landscapes. There will be maybe six or even eight of them all about 20×24 inches then the framing so they will be a decent size when finished….. anyway my question is…. does this muted colour add to the image or detract? should I just stick to the B/W?

hey thanks dinghy….. and yes it helps… I tend mostly to straight images with not much manipulation so this is a new thing I guess…. :)

Definitely go the colour – and congrats on the work!
Juilee Pryor replied

hey thanks berndt2… I’m actually going to do either 3 or 4 pairs where the line of the hills and the light match…. the formatting wont allow me to display them that well here but I think they will look fairly tight and strong somehow….. glad you like the colour…. black and white is a real comfort zone for me so this delicate colour was a bit of an experiment…......:)

the muted colour works really well, though personally I prefer the paired version.

This is beautiful. There is just enough color to give this image some emotional appeal—but not too much. Well done.
