Auditioning

As usual, what I expected to like wasn't my favorite when I auditioned it/them. Tell me what you do and don't like about these. I won't lead the witnesses. The left side of the photos seems more true to life.  The red orange fossil fern is a lot more red.  Hmmm.  Thanks!

  1. They all have interest but I don't like the floral print at all. The yellow brings out the pattern in the black in an unexpected way.What would happen if you quartered the background?

    1. Interesting idea to quarter the background. Pictures please!

  2. I like the black on yellow very much. I agree with Kathy on the print although I love,love,love that fabric so much that I keep using all my little scrap pieces in "crazy blocks". How about the blue on a neon lime green.

  3. The yellow and red orange backgrounds read hot - if that makes sense. I like the middle picture with the blue green background because the focus is more on the "Rosie". Not crazy about either the floral or leaf prints.

  4. If the photos are correct, the orange and yellow seem to change the blue color of Rosie. I like both the greens.

  5. I took the orange and yellow pictures at night with no natural light and it really changed the blue and the backgrounds. I love the floral print fabric but agree that it doesn't work for this project. The greens are my favorite so far. I don't have enough of any of them to do a single piece so I was thinking of doing it in thirds vertically but will have to keep auditioning. My only bright/light greens read very solid and it looked like too much contrast ... bright, chartreuse, and solid. Thanks for the input everyone.

  6. My eye was caught by the floral one. It made the center strips weave into the background. I wouldn't want just that in the background, but it's very interesting in the way it creates depth. The greens are cheery. The orange and yellow hurt my eyes. That could just be a function of digital equipment and light sources.
