Fun Facts: The little green army men are all over my house because my boys play army. My foster son is in the US Army and he is an inspiration to my boys. The painting demonstrates the juxtaposition between the play and the reality. My use of highly saturated purple against yellow causes tension as the complementary colors vibrate and push against each other. There is not any black in this painting; I never put black on my palette.
