discretion

Discretion is the better part of valor?

It's definitely not the better part of color.

In this one your color choices are subdued and quite beautiful. The one small change I would make is to unite the sky and land, by color. The sky is the steering wheel to the painting. It tells everything else what color it can be. The boss.

Discretion- the result of separating or distinguishing.

Interesting ... everyone seems to be talking color this morning. I certainly feel your pain about that pushy diva. Hard to find the happy medium between discretion and over barring. Diva's can be so fickle!

Something in the forest needs to say BOO and scare the diva into the open.

Thanks for reminding us that the fat lady can't always carry a tune.
