Saint Helices 39, 12" x 10", watercolor, 1992. Artist's collection.

The warm and cool tonal variances of the previous version have led to definitive color decisions made in this version. The upper-most area will be warm--orange plus black. The upper-central area will be cool--blue-green plus black. The lower-central area will be warm--crimson plus yellow plus black--seen here under the brush strokes. The lower-most area will be blue-violet plus black. The ellipses vary in tone and hue from version to version, but by logic they should be in the warm range.
