the answer is lime green

acrylic on gessoed paper
I have forgotten the question, but I'm pretty sure of the answer. Lime green. It's the color of voices in tight harmonies. It's the color of water that trickles between the rocks to awaken the seeds.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo seems to know the answer. "Swing Low Sweet Chariot."

No,No,No - the answer is Cheesecake!! 42 bites of lime green CHEESECAKE!!!! I never met a green I didn't like, and the green makes this painting sing.

Definitely the color of this music, many greens, and warm golden reds. One of my all-time favorite groups. Thank you, I hadn't heard this one.

Kitty-- love the way the voices harmonize and fit together. Of course, the landscape is gorgeous, too! So glad I could share something new with you!
