Update - a 'touch' of color

The more I looked at the peach painting - which I am now calling "The Value of a Peach" - the more I knew that something was not right. I experimented a bit with it . . .thinking the 'touch' of color was more a slapped on glob of color which overwhelmed the gray values. I toned down the brightly colored peach.  The color is now sort of emerging as if it had been 'touched' by the color god and encouraged to ripen into peach fleshness.

The original watercolor is currently hanging in our living room. I have now hung the B&W version next to it. (awaiting the hanging of the exhibit on Thursday) It's fun to see them side by side.
