Bowl of Mandarins Oil on Linen 8 x 8 NFS
I finished this little painting yesterday, and it wasn't until I posted it, that I realized I don't like the dark background. It's too harsh and cold, with the warm soft colours of the foreground. So I will go back into it and make some changes to the background, and then repost once I've made those changes. I think maybe a subdued wallpaper, or kitchen tiles. Any ideas for the changes?
I truly like the dark background making the mandarines pop right out.. A very festive painting, Claire!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful composition, Claire. Your warm colors are lovely.
ReplyDeleteUne très jolie composition ma chère Claire...
ReplyDeleteVos couleurs sont toujours très flamboyantes...
Pensez-vous réellement changer le fond ?...
Gros bisous
Dear Hilda, Suzanne and Martine, thank you very much for your feedback on the background. It seems unanimous that the background is okay, so I kept it dark but warmed it up. I won't bother posting it again, as the nuances probably won't show up that well online. Sometimes you just need another opinion....
