30 Paintings in 30 Days #3

Since the stockings are still "hung by the chimney with care," on this January 3rd, I thought "Christmas Remnants to be a fitting title. 

Didn't quite stick with three colors, but came close: burnt and raw Sienna, carmine and ultramarine primarily, with touches of indigo. Needed Prussian and hansa yellow light to mix the greens I wanted, and purple magenta for the, you guessed it, purple. In hindsight, I should have stayed with Prussian and darkened it with carmine and raw Sienna, and just used carmine for the purple, and raw Sienna for the green. It may have had better harmony. Next time!
