Supernumerary II 48x48in acrylic on wood panel not computer generated

This painting continues my exploration of what happens when i overlap several “color octaves”. In both Supernumerary I and II, I overlap 3 octaves of ROYGBIV:
R= 48, 24, 12
O= 24, 12, 6
Y= 16, 8, 4
G= 12, 6, 3
B= 9.6, 4.8, 2.4
I= 8, 4, 2
V= 6.8, 3.4, 1.68
This allows for exciting color mapping because some circles can be several colors: 24 inch circle can be both Red and Orange, 6 can be both Orange and Green, 12 can be both Red Orange and Green, 4 can be both Yellow and Indigo, 8 can be both Yellow and Indigo.

If you look at this central motif, you will see the order of the rainbow goes ROYGBIVGBIVGBIV, which is very similar to what can be observed in a natural rainbow in the sky that, due to visual harmonics, creates a “supernumerary” rainbow effect of overlapping light waves.
