Color and Space

For this assignment I wanted to mix warm and cool colors in a way that made the cool colors seem to shadow the warm colors (because cools tend to recede and warms seem to come forward). So I put the red and orange in the center and shadowed them with their cool, complementary colors. Then I shadowed said complementary colors with the color that lies next to them on the color wheel. I think I was able to accomplish my intention of creating an image that draw the eye toward a focal point in the center. However, in an attempt to fill up the white background with color and shape, I think I created a separate image that draws the eye away from the intended focal point.
