Prodigal Son

I wanted to create violetist magenta colour from the left over blue and red colours I had with me, and am a smart one alright, because I know my colour mixing basics so had right amounts and mixed them. It turned out too dark for my taste. So, I think of my RGB chart and wonder how to reduce the darkness of this violet and ended up adding some green paint to it. That was no good because I lost the bluishness and added more of the blue and the process continued until I had quite an amount of an unwanted colour! I had no idea how to tome down and lighten the colours with the RGB formula.

I couldn't just waste the colours now, could I? So there I was painting a page as my next venture's background. I was too frustrated with my experimenting with colours so I wanted something abstract and this came out! I call it the "Prodigal Son". I will leave to you guess to guess why I did that.

After the art work I remember that I was suppose to add white painting to make things brighter and not mix RGBs! Fool that I was, I was still in the computer world.
