Red Ride

This painting is in the Art Gallery at Parkland.  I was looking at all the pieces done by Morgan Craig and out of all of them I think that this one stands out the most.  It has very complementary colors, using a blue and red color scheme.  The blue ranges from a light, light blue to dark navy blue. The red is a blazing red to a dark rusty red.  The intricate red bars of the ride really pop as they criss cross against the dark lines of the bare winter trees.  

This painting does not really pertain specifically to graphic design, but I felt it should be posted anyway.   I am discovering that I find high contrast and complementary colors are what I enjoy best in a design, artwork, or anything.
