calling all tribe members!

so - one of the reasons why i want to put my paintings on my blog is for feedback. and not just the tickle-my-ears type - you know? it is always good to get a fresh perspective - someone with fresh eyes - someone who doesn't know me at all - purely objective...
i've repainted the background on this one about three times and it's getting to the point where i'm almost happy with it. here's where my indescision lies - do you think i should add anything to the left side - the negative space? i won't even mention what my thoughts are there as i don't want to taint your ideas. anything would be great - i think all suggestions/critique is helpful - so please - let me know what you reckon!



have a wonderful day - hope you're finding time to be creative! X me

  1. Hey Don, love it but what about a quote that goes right down the side and along the bottom, and then sort of blend it out, iykwim.

    Just started a Suzi class, can't wait to get into it.

  3. Okay, to my untrained, unarty eye...when i first looked at it, it looked like something used to be there and had been removed. but I reckon it's gotta be something sort of fade-into-the background-ish 'cos the girls are the main focus. BTW, love the wallpaper look to the background...reminds me of an old farmhouse with lots of secrets.

  4. Maybe the girl on the right could have a speech bubble saying something about, "That's where the new lamp could go?"
    No seriously...
    I don't know why I thought this, but when I first looked at the picture I thought of a small black bird sitting on the black line to the left, on the edge of the canvas.
    Love ya Don, love your work
