Analagous color painting

We're going through different color exercises in our color theory class, and the latest painting was to be a historical painting done in monochromatic or analagous colors. I chose the analagous color route (2 or three colors next to each other on the color wheel), using Lawren Harris's painting Autumn, Algoma 1920. My colors were various shades of orange with a bit of red and yellow thrown in. His original is done with violet blue for the background trees and a variety of oranges and reds for the maple up the front.

We'll be producing our historical paintings two more times in the color theory course, so stay tuned for variations on this theme.
