I LOVE the first one....you are quite talented. I like that it looks like sea glass or stained glass.</p> <p>The second seems a bit incongruent to me because it is almost halo like. Though if you are going for the person have a near-death experience, the light around his face would look better.</p> <p>I guess it comes down to what you are trying to say. But again, if I were at a gallery, the first really catches my eye.</p> <p>GOOD LUCK </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195379 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:17:14 +0000 ilanas 195379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks. i'm still a little pissed that the overarching didn't work as well as i wanted. but can revert to the single color background. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195377 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:10:06 +0000 neatnic 195377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the plain terracotta-colored background -- I think it sets off the artwork better. Great painting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195366 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:49:47 +0000 ilanas 195366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>carole--thanks a lot. I'm a psychologist who paints to blow her own steam. This one is acrylic paint on a paper plate, and it's a painting of an author I love, Haruki Murakami. I'm (paying a gallery so i can have) a little opening on Friday in case you live in NYC.<br /> I think you're right--plain background is better. i just sometimes wish my ambitions to overleap worked better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195361 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:46:08 +0000 Carole 195361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great painting! I like the plain background best, it doesn't compete with the subject. Are you a professional artist? What medium is this, oil or acrylic? You are very talented! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195356 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:37:58 +0000 ilanas 195356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks. i hope she helps me out. i'm new to this forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195355 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:33:55 +0000 biscuitsmom 195355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really dont know anything about art, but if Cookie sees this post she's sure to give an expert opinion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-art#post-195354 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:31:58 +0000 ilanas 195354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi--I'd actually like to ask a question about a piece of art. I'm looking to make a background for a face I painted. Which one is better?</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/50287158@N00/4864255078/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/5.....hotostream</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/50287158@N00/4864255192/in/photostream" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/5.....hotostream</a> </p>
