“The Offering” by Erica Lyn Schmidt for the Month of Love ‘White’ prompt.

6”x8” Acrylic & Oil on an oval cradled panel.

I approached the ‘white’ theme from three directions on this piece: first was the color choice of white for the hummingbirds and the flower being presented. Second, white symbolizes purity with the innocence and bashfulness of the couple. Finally I played around with the effect of being very heavy handed with white in the color mixing process, which resulted in a ghostly pastel palette that limited the saturation of the colors.
