Viridian
14 x 11 inches
oil on linen
Another exotic title for a hue on the spectrum--this time, blue-green. Borrowed from the Latin word for green, the name often refers to a paint made with chromium-oxide pigment. I confess I may have used any and all pigments but actual Viridian, but I have a fondness for the way the syllables roll off the tongue. (Somehow "Carbazole Violet and Sap Green" didn't fit the mood of the image....)
