Hot and Humid...Palm Trees and Sand




When one thinks of Hot and Humid weather they think think tropics; palm trees, ocean, sand..the sky. The influence of these thoughts effected the colors I choose to express hot and humid weather. Various greens for palm trees, blues to express the ocean, and oranges for the sun. When it's hot and humid out the sun isn't always shining bright and vibrantly, it can be hazed over but still felt.

Calmness is often thought of as light soft colors that can help comfort. Colors which lead the viewer to a calm or comforting mental image is what influenced my color selection. Light purple tends to make some think of lavender and its calming smell, while certain shades of blue can evoke an image and feeling of the ocean, which to many is calming.
