optical quilt designs

Daily watercolor painting #179
3x5 on cold press
Today's painting goal was derived from yesterday's "quilt" pattern and follows along the lines of the experimenting I've been doing the past few months with effects of color. So these colors were chosen to produce optical effects of projecting objects versus receding objects. For example, the central white object should appear to project (that is, be closer to the viewer), and the black central object should appear to recede(that is appear further from the viewer)
