Cottonwood Cluster

acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20"

For some reason, the acrylic color of violet oxide does not translate well to digital media.  I used it to paint the background hills here, and tried every which way to get the color of those hills to read accurately online, to no avail.   A live viewing of this painting will show the hills to be less purple, more reddish, and slightly paler.  This problem seems to happen only with violet oxide, but it is one of my favorite mixing colors.  What to do, what to do.
