Colorful Art by Erin McIntosh

Pink Moon, 2011, watercolor and gouache on paper

We discovered today’s CMYLK subject, American artist Erin McIntosh, on Pinterest. Her abstract paintings and works on paper explore the current fascination with polyhedrons, with a dash of neon thrown in. The colors are also quite appealing; we love the resulting Colourlovers palettes we put together. The first reminds us of a gloomy but happy day, the second an underwater party, and the third, watermelon. But that’s just us.
