A Limited Palette

A recent graduate from GMC is doing an artist in residency summer project called "Barn Quilts". Josh has given me a 4 ft. by 4 ft. piece of plywood to transform. I needed to create a geometric border and then fill it however I wanted. My colors are limited to 3 shades of green, a pale yellow, lavender, and magenta. If you have seen my artwork you know I love circles.

Above is stage one and stage 2. Since these are for Vermont I decided on a dancing cow and since it is more fun to dance with someone I added a girl. I am thinking of adding a large circle on the right in the space where the girl is arching  and a medium circle to the upper right of the cow's nose. I am thinking this will help with the movement and balance of the piece. What do you think?

This one is so much fun. I do think the additional circles would help with balance and movement.
