Artist's statement

Having recently completed a refresher "Colour Theory" course at Bermuda College, I was intrigued with the extension of Pure Secondary Orange, as its range from Shade to Tint (adding only black or white) reveals the many gorgeous flesh tones that is so beautifully Bermudian! Cheers to the Hymn: "Red and Yellow, Black and White, we are precious in his sight"!
