I have been reading though Colour: Documents of Contemporary Art. I have been getting a better understanding of colour and how it is used in my work. Like a have said it is from emotion but after reading through this book I understand know that it also comes from everything around me like nature and my surroundings.
I found a post on my tumblr blog that shows this.
In my work I use mostly pinks, greens and blues.
Here are some inspirations.
